FM Sa’ar hails German court conviction of woman who made ‘from the river to the sea’ Instagram post

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomes a decision by Berlin’s Regional Court this week to convict an Iranian national and graphic designer for incitement for writing “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” on her Instagram.

Following the October 7 massacre by the Hamas terror group, the 42-year-old woman expressed identification with Hamas along with the slogan on her social media account, media reports say.

The court said she had made use of terror and unconstitutional symbols. She was fined 1,300 euros and her phone was confiscated, the reports say.

Sa’ar writes on X that “the new antisemitism based on denying the right of the Jewish state to exist must be uprooted.”
