Israeli Foreign Minister to Board of Peace: We Must Ensure that Oct. 7 Never Repeats Itself
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told President Trump's Board of Peace meeting in Washington on Thursday: "The State of Israel...stood through...a difficult war, for two years, on seven different fronts, demonstrating resilience and strength. As I stand here, I recall the 925 brave soldiers that gave their lives in a war against pure evil: Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizbullah....They went from front to front and charged forward under enemy fire. To them we owe our existence and all our achievements. They will not be forgotten." "October 7th was the peak of Hamas's ongoing terror campaign, through decades. Hamas raped and murdered women. Killed children in front of their parents. Parents in front of their children. Burned whole families alive. That terrible day will not be forgotten. And we must act to ensure it never repeats itself." "All previous plans for Gaza failed because they never addressed the core issues: terror, hate, incitement and indoctrination. At the heart of President Trump's comprehensive plan are the disarmament of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, demilitarization of Gaza, and deradicalization of Palestinian society there. It's the first plan to address the root of the problem."
