Foreign Minister Gideon Saar warned on Tuesday that international pressure on Israel aims to force the establishment of a "Palestinian terrorist state" within the country's borders. Saar made these remarks during a Foreign Ministry memorial ceremony for the victims of the October 7th attacks. He stated that Israel is being pushed towards indefensible borders, despite the proven need for minimal geographic depth. Saar asserted that all international, political, legal, and economic pressures are intended to compel Israel to create a Palestinian state that would serve as a launchpad for destroying Israel, in line with a "stage-by-stage doctrine."
Addressing Israel's ongoing diplomatic efforts, Saar described them as "daily defensive battles" but also as opportunities to forge new paths, establish new connections, renew relationships, and expand Israel's diplomatic network. He emphasized that Israel cannot afford to concede and must ensure that those acting against it do not benefit, but rather suffer consequences.
Saar also touched upon the current election period, urging for national unity. He reminded Israelis that they are "brothers" surrounded by enemies, and that differing opinions do not constitute enmity.
