Sa’ar threatens to hit back at Europe if proposed sanctions implemented

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar calls the European Commission’s proposed measures against Israel “morally and politically distorted.”

“Actions against Israel will harm the interests of Europe itself,” he says on X.

Sa’ar promises that “Israel will continue to fight, with the help of its friends in Europe, against attempts to harm it while it is engaged in an existential war.
Steps against Israel will be answered in kind, and we hope they will not be necessary.”
