<p>Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar condemned the measures by several foreign countries against Israeli citizens, entities, and Minister Bezalel Smotrich, calling them “disgraceful.”</p><p>According to Sa’ar, “The real essence of these steps is the attempt to impose a political stance regarding the right of Jews to settle in the Land of Israel and concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, camouflaged as measures against violence.”</p><p>Sa’ar turned the attack on the countries imposing sanctions, accusing: “What these governments have in common is their resounding failure to combat the antisemitism that is rampant in their own countries. Anti-Israeli policies of the kind adopted today only serve to fuel that antisemitism.”</p><p>”Astonishingly, these governments have also failed to impose sanctions or take action against the phenomena that truly drive violence – the Palestinian Authority’s salaries for terrorists (“pay-for-slay”) policy and incitement,” he added.</p> | Read More in News from Israel
