Earlier in the day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended Minister for Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Amichai Eliyahu, who said that dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip was "one of the possible options" in the conflict.
"Syria calls on the international community and the IAEA to take all measures and take responsibility for the disclosure of Israel's nuclear program," the ministry said in a statement, published by Syrian state news agency SANA.
Eliyahu's allegations confirm that Israel concealed the fact that it had nuclear weapons, the ministry said.
