Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has condemned Irish President Michael D. Higgins as an “antisemitic liar” following a false claim that Israel seeks to establish settlements in Egypt.
Israel i foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar called Ireland ’s president, Michael D. Higgins, an “antisemitic liar” on Tuesday after the latter falsely claimed that Israel is seeking to put settlements in Egypt , from which it withdrew in 1979.

For no reason and unprovoked, Hezbollah joined Hamas on October 8th and since then fired tens of thousands of missiles, rockets and drones at Israeli citizens and communities.

Syria: while Assad’s regime disintegrated, armed groups entered the buffer zone and attacked UNDOF forces, in violation of the Disengagement Agreement from 1974. Israel temporarily entered a few limited points to prevent the threat of radical Islamists against its citizens and communities.With regard to Egypt – Higgins invented the claim that Israel seeks to form settlements there. The facts: in the context of our peace agreement with Egypt – Israel withdrew from a huge area – all of the Sinai desert, and uprooted all of its communities there. This peace agreement has been maintained since 197
