Sa’ar to UN Middle East Peace Coordinator: ‘PA Must Stop Payments to Terrorists’

Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar met on Wednesday, April 2, with the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Sigrid Kaag, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem.

The meeting focused on the situation in Gaza, the possibility of reaching a hostage deal, the IDF's operation against terror in Judea and Samaria, and more. 

During the meeting, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sa'ar stated that the Palestinian Authority must stop payments to terrorists and their families, cease incitement (especially within the education system, mosques, and media), and halt the legal warfare it conducts against Israel in international forums.

"The Palestinian Authority's current patterns of action do not allow for trust in it", Sa'ar said. The Minister also stated that the distorted orders of the ICC have already significantly harmed the credibility of the "Court" and that this harm will only continue to increase.

Minister Sa'ar also met with the Secretary-General of the OECD, Mathias Cormann. During the meeting, the two discussed strengthening cooperation between Israel and the organization, the challenges facing the Israeli economy, and the situation in the Middle East. (INN/VFI News)

“Our Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love and protection. We thank You for being Who You are and we praise Your holy name. We pray in Yeshua's Name that you open the eyes of the spiritually blind and uncover all deceptions that make people stumble and fall. We pray that You help the Palestinians realize who their real enemies are and how dreadful the terror groups are for them. We ask that all funding to these terror groups will stop and that the civilians will not be tempted to engage in terrorism as a means of making a living.”
