Peace requires Palestinian authority to end terror incentives, incitement, Foreign Minister says

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar states peace requires Palestinian Authority to stop "Pay for Slay" policies and incitement against Israel in schools and media.

"Without disengaging from these problems - the incitement against Jews, Israel and terrorism - it will not be possible to build a credible peace process - Gideon Sa'ar"

Tel Aviv, September 7

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, speaking alongside Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen in Jerusalem, said countries supporting Palestinian statehood are ignoring "the most important facts" about the Palestinian Authority's actions. Saar highlighted what he called ongoing security failures, the "Pay for Slay" policy rewarding terrorism, and systemic incitement in schools and textbooks. He argued these issues make a credible peace process impossible.

"Without disengaging from these problems - the incitement against Jews, Israel and terrorism - it will not be possible to build a credible peace process," Sa'ar said.

Sa'ar emphasised that Israel cannot compromise its future or security in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, and praised U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for highlighting the Palestinian Authority's unmet commitments.

The remarks followed a private meeting and joint press conference with Rasmussen.

Both sides need to take responsibility. While incitement is wrong, Israel's settlement expansion also undermines peace. A balanced approach is needed for lasting solution.

India should learn from this conflict. We have our own border issues and must ensure education promotes peace, not hatred. Textbook reforms are crucial everywhere!

The Palestinian leadership must choose between peace and perpetuating conflict. Rewarding terrorism only harms their own people's future. Hope for sensible dialogue prevails.

Complex issue but basic principle: you can't preach peace while teaching hate to children. The education system reform is non-negotiable for any peace process.

While Israel has legitimate security concerns, the Palestinian people also deserve dignity and self-determination. The cycle of blame helps no one. Time for courageous leadership on both sides.
