According to Hakabi, most of those who commit violence do not live in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), but come with the aim of creating disorder. "What they are doing is terrorism," he noted.
The ambassador also commented on the situation in Gaza, stating that "the ceasefire continues to be in effect and such incidents were predictable." Hakabi believes that the plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump for the region is "very effective."
In addition, the American diplomat expressed his opinion on the possible sale of F-35 fighters to Saudi Arabia. He reminded of the agreement with Israel, which maintains its military superiority in the Middle East. Hakabi noted that the sale of fighters may help Saudi Arabia defend itself against Iran, but does not pose a threat to Israel.
