Foreign Minister Gideon Saar condemned the attack by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir against Germany, who following the declaration that "we should begin the process of recognizing a Palestinian state" said that Germany is "returning to support Nazism." Saar wrote on X: "I strongly reject Minister Ben-Gvir's statements about Germany. They are unnecessary and harmful. Germany is a friendly country and Foreign Minister Wadfoul is a friend of Israel. This does not change even when there are differences of opinion between us."
