Israel Embassy Murder BLAMED On European Leaders|Macron, Starmer Spread ‘genocide Lies,’ Says Saar

Following the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has launched a scathing attack on European leaders. He accused them of inciting antisemitic hatred and claimed their rhetoric directly fuels violence against Israelis. Saar called out European and international officials for spreading false narratives about genocide in Gaza, linking their remarks to what he calls “modern blood libels.” As Western countries increase diplomatic pressure on Israel over Gaza, tensions between Israel and Europe are rapidly escalating. #GideonSaar #Israel #Europe #EmbassyAttack #Antisemitism #IsraelVsEurope #MiddleEast #DiplomaticTensions #GazaConflict #EU #UK #France #Canada #WashingtonDC #EmbassyShooting #BloodLibel #GlobalPolitics #ForeignPolicy #IsraelNews #BreakingNews #HamasWar #IsraelDefense #HumanRights #GenocideClaims #InternationalRelations #JewishSafety #IsraelGazaWar #SaarStatement #AntiIsraelIncitement #EUReview #MiddleEastUpdate Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.122~

Terrifying scenes unfolded as Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a second ballistic missile attack on Israel within hours, claiming to have targeted Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv with a Zulfiqar missile. Dramatic video footage captures the panic on the ground as Israeli civilians scramble for safety amid blaring sirens and incoming fire.
