Foreign Minister Gideon Saar addressed Macron's criticism against denying visas to senior Palestinians, writing on his X account that "President Macron is very interested in U.S. visas for Palestinian Authority officials. That's what keeps him up at night." According to him, "He is not outraged by the wild incitement in the Palestinian education system against Israel and Jews. He also does not protest the payments transferred by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists and their families." Minister Saar added: "Macron is trying to intervene from outside in a conflict he is not a party to, completely disconnected from the reality on the ground after October 7."
