Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says he is”deeply saddened to hear about the tragic crash in South Korea” and offers his condolences to the families of the victims, after 179 people were killed yesterday when their aircraft went up in flames.
“Israel stands in solidarity with South Korea during this difficult hour,” Saar writes on X.
