"The international 'courts,' and especially the [International Criminal Court], have become another tool in the antisemitic campaign that is trying to deny the people of Israel its right to self-defense. We will never give up the basic right to defend ourselves on our own," Sa'ar insisted.

Saar also highlighted Chisinau's deep Jewish history, recalling the 1903 pogroms and the Holocaust. Sharing a personal connection, Sa'ar noted that his grandfather was born in Chisinau before emigrating to Argentina. (ANI/TPS)
