Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar: Italy, despite all the difficulties, is defending the State of Israel against attempts to impose sanctions on it in the European Union.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar: Let me tell you: during this year, 2026, the United States of America, in my assessment, will take additional, painful and significant sanctions against the International Criminal Court in The Hague. We are acting—primarily together with the United States of America.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar: You could go tomorrow and conquer all of Lebanon, including the Bekaa Valley, including Beirut. But that has consequences. You know, if we had six or seven armies and not just one IDF, maybe we would do more.
