Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar today (Friday, 13 June 2025) held a marathon of calls with his counterparts around the world regarding the Cabinet's decision to remove the Iranian threat of annihilation and the IDF's subsequent action.
Also, under the direction of Minister Sa'ar, the Foreign Ministry has begun to operate in an emergency format and has opened an emergency situation room to operate all of Israel's missions around the world. Israel's missions will operate diplomatically and through the media in all arenas to enable diplomatic legitimacy for the military operation.
One of the first conversations Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar held early this morning was with German Foreign Minister Wadephul.
FM Sa'ar informed his colleague of the unanimous Cabinet decision to remove the imminent threat of annihilation from our people and of the IDF's action.
FM Sa'ar told the German Foreign Minister:
"We made this decision at the last possible minute, after all other avenues had been exhausted. The whole world saw and understood that the Iranians were not ready to stop and we had to stop them. The latest IAEA report illustrated the serious Iranian violations. We know that challenging days lie ahead, but we have no other choice."
Later, FM Sa'ar held a phone call with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
Foreign Minister Sa'ar informed his Italian counterpart about the Cabinet's decision to act to stop Iran's plan to eliminate Israel and about the IDF's operation in Iran.
The two also discussed the Gaza issue.
Minister Sa'ar said during the conversation that Israel is also interested in reaching a hostage deal - something Hamas has so far rejected.
