The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General, Jassem Mohamed Albudaiwi, said that the dangerous statements by an Israeli minister in the occupying government on the use of a nuclear bomb on Gaza underscore the extremism of the Zionist occupation against the Palestinian people.
"The dangerous statements by a minister in the Israeli occupying government regarding the use of a nuclear bomb on Gaza are a call for genocide, confirming the extremism and brutality of the Zionist occupation against the Palestinian people, and its grave and ongoing violations in Gaza, along with its disregard for the lives of innocent civilians," Albudaiwi said, SPA reported.

The GCC Secretary-General called for holding the Israeli government accountable for this reckless threat.
He strongly condemned these unbalanced statements and actions, which could exacerbate the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip and underscore the Israeli occupation's intent to persist in this attack in violation of all international conventions, norms, and laws.

Also, The Arab Parliament (AP) has condemned the statements made by the Israeli Minister, describing them as barbaric, confirming the criminal and racist nature of the occupying forces, and their blatant disregard of all international laws and norms.

The AP emphasized that the oppressive occupying force would not have been able to commit such criminal acts and threaten to use weapons of mass destruction if it were not for the shameful silence that still prevails in the international community.
This silence persists despite the genocidal and racist war waged by the occupying force against the Palestinian people, the AP said.
Moreover, the AP called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to fulfill its international responsibilities, condemn these statements as an official acknowledgement by the occupation Israeli government of its possession of nuclear weapons, and officially record it.

For their part, the Muslim World League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation also slammed the Israeli statements.

The MWL released statements denouncing in the strongest terms the israeli statement, which reflects the level of audacity and barbarism.
The MWL called on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards the horrifying disasters in the Gaza Strip, especially with their continuing catastrophic repercussions.

OIC also condemned the racist remarks made by the Israeli Heritage Minister, saying his remarks reflect extremism, hate speech, incitement to violence, organized terrorism, and the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian civilians daily, in clear defiance of international law, conventions, and resolutions.
The OIC also emphasized that this speech is unacceptable and an extension of an extremist terrorist ideology.
Moreover, it called for condemnation from the international community and the implementation of effective measures to halt the military aggression, daily massacres, and genocide conducted by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

Bahrain announced on Monday the arrest of three people “for forming a cell affiliated with the Lebanese terrorist Hezbollah group,” saying the necessary legal procedures had been completed and that the detainees had been referred to the Public Prosecution.

In a statement, the Interior Ministry said the suspects “coordinated with terrorist elements abroad and sought to engage in espionage with them with the intent to undermine the sovereignty of the state, spread fear and panic among citizens and residents, and endanger the security and safety of the country.”

The suspects were identified as Ahmed Ahmed Hussain Madan, 24, Hassan Abdulameer Ashoor, 22, and Muntadhar Abdulmohsen Ali Madan, 29, reported Bahrain’s state news agency BNA.

They revealed that “during their travel to Lebanon, they received weapons training after meeting with members of the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization.”

They also sent images and information about the repercussions of the Iranian attacks against Bahrain and collected funds under the guise of charitable work, transferring them to support Hezbollah activities in preparation for being tasked by its leaders with carrying out terrorist plots and acts in Bahrain, said the statement.
