Why is Israel getting blamed for trying to protect its citizens from hezbollah attacks? Iran funds and arms hezbollah, encourages them to kill israelis in israel and then blames israel for defending its own citizens. We should be focusing our anger on the iranian dictatorship not - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער reposted
ואנס שיקר שכביכול שרי ישראל תקפו את טראמפ, שרת החוץ של האיחוד הארופי השוותה את ישראל למשטר האפרטהייד בדרום אפריקה, וטראמפ מפעיל לחץ על נתניהו לסגת מלבנון. במקום לתת גיבוי לממשלה ולנתניהו, במקום להלחם בשקרים נגד מדינת ישראל, במקום להבהיר שישראל לא תיסוג מלבנון כדי להגן על תושבי

You’re a fool, Lapid. You’re giving voice to what was a terrible smear of your entire country dressed up as something else. It’ll be used by the haters here to justify more of it.ביממה האחרונה סגן נשיא ארה״ב התעצבן במסיבת עתונאים על סמוטריץ׳ ובן גביר, שר החוץ סער ניתק את הקשרים עם שרת החוץ של האיחוד האירופי, והנשיא טראמפ אמר שנתניהו מגלה חוסר אחריות בלבנון. אם לא נחליף מהר את הממשלה הזו, יחסי החוץ של ישראל יימחקו - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער reposted
French FM said Israel needs to stop strikes on Hezbollah. Does France get all its info from Hezbollah? Last night, Israel had 4 of its soldiers killed. Israel strikes when struck as @yechielleiter brings FACTS. Ceasefire happens when Hezbollah stops shooting & killing.Here’s your reminder of how Hezbollah is “upholding the ceasefire” in the last couple of days: 💥 June 17th: 10:15 - 1 IED 10:57 - 2 Explosive UAVs 12:35 - 9 Rockets 12:37 - 2 Rockets 12:51 - 1 Missile 12:56 - 2 Rockets 13:04 - 6 Rockets 16:53 - 2 Rockets 17:31 - 3 - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער reposted
Israel is our greatest ally and strongest partner in the Middle East. The evil Iranian regime wants to wipe BOTH of us off the face of the Earth. That will never happen because we will ALWAYS stand together. America’s unwavering support for Israel’s defense helps make the - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער reposted
Israel remains committed to the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel, Lebanon and the US. If Hezbollah does not violate the agreement, it will be kept. Under all circumstances, Israel retains its right to respond to attacks against it and to thwart threats to its - Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער reposted
We've arrived exactly where this was heading. The Israeli FM has cut contact with the EU's top diplomat - not over policy disagreements - those are normal in diplomacy. Because of an unretracted comparison of Israel to apartheid South Africa. Kallas' response? Reaffirming the 
Madam, With all due respect, even in your remarks here you refrain from denying or condemning what has been attributed to you and published publicly. That speaks for itself. To the best of my knowledge, the statements attributed to you regarding “apartheid” do not reflect theDear Gideon, as you know, the EU and Israel have a lot that binds us. I value our dialogue and engagement, and I’m open to continue in that spirit, respectfully and constructively. Dialogue is the foundation of diplomacy, especially when differences arise. The EU is always- גברתי, בכל הכבוד - גם בדבריך כאן את נמנעת מלהכחיש או לגנות את מה שמיוחס לך ופורסם ברבים. זה מדבר בעד עצמו. למיטב ידיעתי - האמירות שיוחסו לך בענין ״האפרטהייד״ אינן משקפות את עמדת האיחוד האירופי. הענין פשוט: אם אכן אמרת את הדברים הבזויים והדיבתיים האלה - תתייצבי מאחוריהם. אם לאDear Gideon, as you know, the EU and Israel have a lot that binds us.

If these reports are true, comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa is not only factually wrong, but also completely unacceptable for someone speaking on behalf of the EU.

Once again Kallas has exposed her lack of skills as a diplomat and representative of the EU! From day one I have thought she was a bad choice and it has only gotten worse.Disgusting if true. When representing the EU on foreign policy issues, every statement sends a signal rather than just serving as a slogan. Comparing Israel to apartheid-era South Africa is not a harmless metaphor. It shifts the EU away from its carefully established stance,

Hvis det er korrekt, at EU’s udenrigspolitiske chef sammenligner Israel med apartheidtidens Sydafrika, er det dybt alvorligt og fuldstændig uacceptabelt. Sådan en retorik underminerer EU’s troværdighed og afslører endnu en gang en bekymrende mangel på dømmekraft af EU-elitenReplying to @Euractiv1/ 🔴 EXCLUSIVE: EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas privately compared Israel's treatment of Palestinians to South Africa's apartheid era – during high-level talks in Mexico City.
