FM Sa'ar: "Israel will not be the Czechoslovakia of the 21st century. We won't sacrifice our own existence for the sake of the appeasement countries."
(July 29, 2025 / JNS) Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Tuesday that Israel would not “commit suicide” for countries that had “lost control over their own streets,” referring to international pressure to end the war in Gaza and create a Palestinian state.
During a special press conference at his ministry, Sa’ar said, “We are witnessing a distorted campaign of international pressure against Israel over recent days. This campaign fuels the antisemitism wave we are witnessing,” referring to numerous incidents of Jew hatred, mainly in Europe.
Last week, the foreign ministers of more than 25 countries, along with a European Union commissioner, called for an end to the war in Gaza. Their latest demand leaned on growing criticism of Israel’s new aid distribution model for the Gaza Strip, which they said fueled “instability.”
