Regional security threats, particularly those posed by Iran, were a key topic. Sa’ar and Sybiha discussed the recent crackdown by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, which the Israeli minister called “one of the darkest events in the history of Iran and humanity.”
He emphasized the need for Ukraine’s parliament to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization and noted the importance of international pressure on Tehran in response to the violence.
The two ministers also exchanged views on bilateral cooperation and the broader peace process, with both agreeing to maintain close contact moving forward.
