Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says, “The Palestinians are more interested in destroying Israel” than establishing a state of their own.
“We have an enemy who has never abandoned the path of incitement,” he says in response to a question from a Palestinian reporter during an appearance at the Munich Security Conference. “What you call Palestine — this is the land of Israel.”
“One of the goals of the war is to return all of the hostages… Every hostage we return brings us closer to realizing this goal,” Sa’ar says.
