Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, speaking in Budapest, condemned a deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem carried out by two Palestinians from the West Bank. He cited the incident as evidence against the establishment of a Palestinian state under the Palestinian Authority, arguing that such a state would threaten Israel's security and stability. Sa'ar called on the international community to choose sides in the fight against radical Islamist terrorism, emphasizing Hungary's support for Israel. He reiterated accusations that the Palestinian Authority has not severed ties to terrorism and warned that recognition of a Palestinian state would further destabilize the region.
