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.
