Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar discusses Israel’s operations in Gaza with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský and other European counterparts, says his office.
According to the Israeli readout, Sa’ar stresses that Israel accepted the US proposals for a ceasefire while Hamas rejected them and that Israel is only targeting terrorist operatives and sites.
He also tells the European diplomats that Israel is determined to achieve its war aims and that stability in the Middle East can only come about with the defeat of Iran and its axis.
