🇮🇱❌🇫🇷🇵🇸 — Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar about the French unilateral recognition of Palestine:
The French President's pretension to create by mere words an illusionary arrangement in our land is ridiculous and not serious. His statement this evening shows that all the conditions that he himself set a few weeks ago - have evaporated. All that remains is the illusionary state he presumes to establish.
A Palestinian state will be a Hamas state, just as the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip twenty years ago led to Hamas taking control of it.
President Macron cannot provide security for Israel.
Let's hope he succeeds in doing so on the streets of Paris.
Israel's attempt to base its security on Palestinian promises to fight terror completely failed in the Oslo process.
Israel will no longer gamble on its security and its future.
🇸🇾☀️ - A senior Syrian government source told Al Ekhbariah Syria:
"We condemn the use of the events in Sweida and the coast to justify refusal to unite under the state's banner.
Any talk about refusing to hand over weapons and insisting on a military bloc is completely rejected. No military entity outside the national army can be considered legitimate".

🇮🇱🇹🇷 - An Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post:
"Turkey's agreement to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets isn't a game-changing threat to our Air Force. The Typhoon is a capable but not superior aircraft compared to our fighter jets.
But it's a clear and worrying signal that Turkey is accelerating its arms buildup in a way that could eventually challenge Israel's military edge in the region. The deal isn't an immediate threat, but still a headache for Israel".
