Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Good to speak again with Japanese FM Takeshi Iwaya.

I emphasised that current efforts by France and others to recognize a virtual "Palestinian state" harm the chances of achieving a future bilateral arrangement. These efforts disconnect the issue of statehood from peace and rewarding the Palestinians without demanding from them to compromise.

We always see our dialogue with Japan as very important. I invited my counterpart to come visit Israel soon".
🇮🇱🇯🇵

The Washington Post echoed Hamas propaganda.
It later admitted its headline was false.

#StopLyingForHamas

NOT a surprise: A young Gazan boy dubbed "Amir," who traveled to a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution site and was reported as having been killed by IDF in May, has been found alive and was hiding out with his mother.

Prime Minister Netanyahu reveals: The REAL reason that the International Criminal Court accused Israel. The scandal they tried to hide.

700 days have passed since October 7.

700 days since the day when Palestinian terror from Gaza, like a tsunami of atrocities and blood, hit southern Israel.

700 days of war for the right of the Jewish state to the security of its citizens, against the Iranian axis of terror and its masters in Tehran.

700 days of struggle for the return of innocent people kidnapped by the inhuman Hamas.

As on each of these days, the war can end today if Hamas returns all the hostages and lays down its arms.

We are waiting for them all.

⭕️ In the coming days, the IDF will carry out precise strikes against Hamas terrorist infrastructure in Gaza City:

The IDF has conducted extensive intelligence and identified significant Hamas terrorist activity within a wide variety of infrastructure sites in Gaza City.

▪️Cameras & Observation Command Centers
▪️Sniper & Anti-Tank Firing Positions
▪️Command-and-Control Compounds
▪️Underground tunnels running beneath buildings

Hamas exploits civilian infrastructure in Gaza, endangering the civilian population in Gaza. Numerous measures will be taken to minimize the risk of harming civilians as much as possible.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

"The ICC has been aided by the Palestinian NGOs - Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights - in its politicized crusade against Israel.

The ICC did so while trampling the principles of international law.

Two of the NGOs, Al Haq and Al Mezan - were already designated as terrorist organizations under Israeli law in 2021.

I thank US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for yet another moral decision and for standing by Israel! 🇮🇱🇺🇸"

Today we remember the 11 Israelis murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympics in Germany, when Palestinian terrorists stormed the Olympic Village, taking Israeli athletes hostage. After hours of fear and failed rescue attempts, 11 Israelis were murdered.

53 years later, history repeats itself: 48 Israelis are still held hostage in Hamas’ dungeonss - by another Palestinian terror group.

From Munich to Gaza, the message is clear: terror targets Israelis simply for being Israeli.
Let them go NOW! 🎗️

For 700 endless days, 48 hostages have been trapped in Palestinian Hamas’ dungeons — cut off from their families, their lives, their freedom.

700 days of darkness, fear, and unimaginable suffering.
700 days in which mothers, fathers, children, siblings and friends wake each morning praying this nightmare will end.

Their story lights up Times Square.
Because the world cannot look away.

🎯 *STRUCK:* A high-rise building that was being used by the Hamas terrorist organization in the area of Gaza City.

Hamas terrorists installed intelligence gathering equipment and positioned observation posts in the building in order to monitor the location of IDF troops in the area. Hamas terrorists also planted numerous explosive devices near the building.

Prior to the strike, steps were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Today, we celebrate 77 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and Paraguay.

On behalf of Israel, I express deep gratitude to President Santiago Peña, the government and the people of Paraguay. We appreciate the steadfast friendship between our nations, built since Paraguay’s historic recognition of Israel in 1948.

Our two democracies stand shoulder to shoulder with shared values. We look forward to a future of continued cooperation and the deepening of our warm friendship.

Viva Israel, Viva Paraguay! 🇮🇱🇵🇾"

Minister Sa'ar on the Palestinian question:

It’s been 23 months since Hamas launched its barbaric attack.
On October 7, Hamas kidnapped more than 250 innocent people.

Today, 48 are still held captive - trapped in Hamas’ tunnels of hell, cut off from their families, their lives, their freedom.

Hamas is responsible for 23 months of torture.

Free the hostages NOW. 🎗️

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Start of the Government Meeting: “If I need to choose between victory over our enemies and malicious propaganda against us, I choose victory.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Sunday, 7 September 2025), at the start of the Government meeting [translated from Hebrew]:

“We are intensifying the operation on the outskirts of, and inside, Gaza City. We are eliminating Nukhba terrorists who played a significant role in the October 7 massacre, including the accursed terrorist who called his parents and took pride in having personally murdered 10 Israelis. Now we called the family and informed it that this terrorist has been eliminated. It is a clear message that we will reach them all. I want to thank, on your behalf as well, the ISA and the IDF for doing this important work.

We are eliminating terrorist infrastructure and nefarious terrorist high-rises. We have established an additional humanitarian corridor to enable the civilian population in Gaza to leave for a safe place and receive humanitarian assistance there. In the meantime, approximately 100,000 people have left Gaza. Hamas is trying to do its utmost so that no one will go and they will stay there in order to serve as human shields for it. By the way, it does not refrain from any means. Only recently we have seen how it shoots women and children in the legs and if necessary, shoots them. Therefore, it is expected that it will try to prevent the exit that is necessary from a humanitarian perspective and from our perspective regarding the war. We want to focus on the terrorists themselves and enable the civilian population to go out.

On Friday, Hamas issued a cruel and reprehensible video of Alon Ohel and Guy Gilboa-Dalal. I must say that I spoke at length with their families on Friday and underscored – on behalf of myself, you and the entire people – our support for them. I must also say that most citizens of Israel, the great majority of the citizens of Israel, are standing steadfast against this psychological terrorism.

Our effort in Gaza against the last strongholds, in effect last important stronghold, Gaza City, is part of our effort to complete the crushing of the stranglehold by the Iranian axis. This axis was intended to destroy the State of Israel, and by dismantling it and striking it, we are removing an existential threat to Israel, the primary threat.

We have landed very severe blows on Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, just recently you saw this, and we brought about the fall of the Assad regime. Of course, the peak was the severe blow on the patron of this axis – Iran, and the distancing of the existential of nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles over our heads. We will continue this effort until we achieve all of our objectives for the war.

I am aware of the price that we are paying in the diplomatic and public diplomacy fields for the State of Israel and the best way to get out of this, of course, is to establish completely new mechanisms as we mentioned, and – of course – to end the war as fast as possible with the victory that we have defined: Eliminating Hamas, the return of all the hostages and ensuring that Gaza never again threatens Israel.

But regarding the public diplomacy damage, I would like to say one thing: If I need to choose between victory over our enemies and malicious propaganda against us, I choose victory over our enemies, as opposed to the opposite. I do not want stories that we have been beaten by our enemies and for us to be eulogized well in the global media. I choose victory.”

Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar will depart tomorrow morning (Monday) for a two-day diplomatic visit to Hungary and Croatia.

During his visit to Hungary, Minister Sa’ar will meet with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.

On Tuesday, Minister Sa’ar will continue to Croatia, where he will meet with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman, and Speaker of the Parliament Gordan Jandroković. He will also hold a meeting with the Jewish community in Zagreb and visit the memorial to Holocaust victims and the Ustaše regime.

As part of the diplomatic visit, Minister Sa’ar will also hold meetings with President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović and Romanian Foreign Minister Luminița Odobescu.
