What Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Moshe Sa'ar said?

After the incident, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Moshe Sa'ar took to his X and wrote, "I'm appalled by the murderous shooting attack at a Hanukkah event in Sydney, Australia. These are the results of the anti-Semitic rampage in the streets of Australia over the past two years, with the anti-Semitic and inciting calls of “Globalise the Intifada” that were realized today. The Australian government, which received countless warning signs, must come to its senses!"

Here is the video of the mass shooting:
