Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told his Japanese counterpart that Israel is determined to never allow the Iranian regime to obtain the most dangerous weapon in the world, according to a statement from his office. The remark comes as the G7 summit convenes in France and a U.S.-Iran deal nears signing.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar delivered the message during a meeting with Japan's foreign minister on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Evian, France. The statement, released by the Foreign Ministry, reflects Jerusalem's public stance as the U.S. and Iran move closer to signing a negotiated agreement.
As The Zioneer has reported over recent days, President Donald Trump has prioritized finalizing a deal with Tehran, holding bilateral meetings with Gulf and regional leaders at the summit. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not invited to the G7, and his office denied reports that he sought an urgent meeting with Trump.
Sa'ar's comment—citing "the most dangerous weapon in the world"—is widely understood in context to refer to a nuclear weapon, though no explicit confirmation of that specific phrasing appeared in the source message. The meeting continues a pattern of Israeli diplomatic outreach to key partners as the U.S.-Iran agreement nears formalization.
