Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated that "if calls and actions by countries and politicians for arms embargo against Israel succeed, God forbid, the result would be Israel's destruction and a second Holocaust." At an international conference on combating antisemitism organized by his ministry, with participation of foreign ministers from other countries, he added that "Israel is a country under an explicit threat of annihilation and attempts of destruction by its neighbors. This is barely mentioned in the discourse about the war. Paradoxically, since October 7, the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, antisemitism worldwide has grown dramatically. It's seeping from the margins into the mainstream. It's shameless. The spread of hate speech against Jews and Israel is almost everywhere in the world, in both digital and physical spaces. A broad mobilization is required."
