The report did forget to mention that the minister was suspended for his first statement in November...
I really don't want to defend anyone here but I think it is important to stay as close to the facts as possible
-
I agree that the article should mention such things.
However from what I read he seems to have only been "reprimanded" or suspended from meetings for it, not actually suspended as a minister.
-
So does that make him not a minister (an ex-minister?).
If he was suspended and not sacked, then I think he is still minister, but I am no expert on Israeli politics.
-
AFAIK they have a war cabinet, and this minister's far-right party ('Jewish Power') isn't part of it.
Apparently this story is from november last year, a month after the attacks, and he claimed it was hyperbole after most people in Israel derided him as a lunatic:

Obviously, fascists like to say outrageous stuff to disconcert people, but who knows with these lunatics.
-
According to your link, he is still a minister.
-
Yeah, but they have a war cabinet, and have suspended all non-war or emergency legislation. So as far as I can tell he's a lame duck or in some kind of limbo.
