US Ambassador in Israel Jack Lew meets with opposition New Hope party chairman Gideon Sa’ar to discuss the war in Gaza.
According to Sa’ar’s office, the former minister stresses that Hamas must be toppled in the Gaza Strip.
He also stresses his opposition to a Palestinian state. He says such an entity “will very quickly turn into a Hamas state, which will be a severe threat to Israel’s security, and a permanent cause of instability in the region.”
