Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs
"The most important thing to understand is who we are fighting with. It is to understand this equation: They are targeting civilians while we are trying to prevent a huge threat. First of all to Israel's existence. But also to the region as a whole, to Europe and to world order."

Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar today (Tuesday, 17 June 2025) visited the site of the Iranian ballistic missile attack in Rishon LeZion. Following I his statement to the press:
FM Sa'ar's full remarks:
"You can see here the results of the Iranian war crimes. The Iranian regime is targeting civilians. They are targeting only civilians!
You can not find a single soldier that is dead after their attacks.
Only civilians. Because they are targeting civilians - while we target their nuclear program, their missiles program, and military objectives.
At the same time, they deliberately target only civilians and population centers.
Behind us is the demolition site. I thank my friend Raz Kinstlich for his efforts to help the people. People were evacuated from here in vast numbers. It is very important - as the Mayor is always emphasizing - to obey instructions given by relevant officials during emergencies, during the time when there are sirens.
The most important thing to understand is who we are fighting with.
It is to understand this equation: They are targeting civilians while we are trying to prevent a huge threat. First of all to Israel's existence. But also to the region as a whole, to Europe and to world order."
