"Sa'ar: Chancellor Merz was right. We are doing the world's dirty work. Applauding the results of our actions while condemning them at the same time."
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar in an interview with "Bild" in response to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's statement that Israel is doing the "dirty work" for the world:
"That is absolutely true. But I want to add something: They applaud the results of our actions and condemn them at the same time. Europe is enthusiastic that there is a new government in Lebanon, that Hezbollah is no longer there. Europe is enthusiastic that Assad is gone, that Iran's nuclear program is no longer a threat. They think all this is great and condemn those who did the work. So Merz is right: we are doing the dirty work."
