Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar met today (Monday, March 10, 2025) in Jerusalem with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Luxemburg, Xavier Bettel.
The two first met privately and then held an expanded bilateral meeting.
Their meeting focused on a discussion of international and regional developments.
FM Sa’ar reviewed the regional situation. Referring to the events over the weekend in Syria, he said:
“We are determined to prevent what we saw happening this weekend in Syria happening on our border. We are determined to prevent any recurrence of the events of October 7th in all sectors. We will not allow a jihadist threat to emerge on our border with Syria. There are also thousands of Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists in Syria, and they want to set our border on fire and create another front against Israel. Europe must speak out clearly about the mass murder of Alawite and Christian civilians in Syria.”
