Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar warns that an arms embargo on Israel will result in the country’s destruction and “another Holocaust.”

Speaking at an International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance event, Sa’ar notes calls by Hamas and Iran for Israel’s destruction.

“Which states have drawn the necessary conclusions from these remarks and this reality? What is the meaning of actions or remarks, by politicians or countries, of imposing a weapons embargo on Israel. If these moves succeed — Israel will simply be destroyed,” he says. “There will be another Holocaust, in the Land of Israel. This is in fact a way to deprive the Jewish nation of the means to defend itself. Means we so lacked during the long years of exile and the period of the Holocaust.”
