(JNS) Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar recently met with Sigrid Kaag, the U.N. Middle East envoy and the world body’s senior coordinator for the Gaza Strip, to discuss the situation in Gaza.

The Jerusalem meeting on Wednesday, April 2 focused on the possibility of reaching a truce deal with Hamas, IDF operations against terrorism in Yehuda and Shomron “and more,” Sa’ar’s office said.

Jerusalem’s top diplomat told Kaag the “distorted orders” of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which is investigating and has issued arrest warrants against the Jewish state’s leaders after complaints from the Palestinian Authority, have seriously harmed its credibility.

Sa’ar was said to have told Kaag that the Ramallah-based P.A. must stop payments to terrorists and their families, cease incitement against Israel and the Jewish people, as well as put an end to the “legal warfare” it continues to wage against Jerusalem at international courts.

“The Palestinian Authority’s patterns of action do not allow for trust in it,” Sa’ar told the U.N. envoy, according to a readout from his office.
