Foreign Minister Gideon Saar addressed the International Conference on Combating Antisemitism at Yad Vashem Museum. He noted that "we live in a time when the ancient aspiration to destroy the Jewish people is growing stronger and has even become an action plan." U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a video message: "Israel's neighbors failed to understand how following its path could have brought prosperity to the entire region. They chose war, thus impoverishing their peoples in a futile effort to destroy Israel. They succeeded in the first - but failed in the second."
