Israel’s National Forum for Combating Social Exclusion and Bullying launched a nationwide campaign backed by the President’s Residence. The initiative brings together government ministries, local authorities, schools, youth movements, civil-society groups, technology companies and media organizations. Reporting says one in three Israeli children or teenagers has experienced social exclusion, while one third has encountered violence or bullying. President Isaac Herzog described the situation as a national emergency, and the campaign will place resources in schools, public spaces and online through a new centralized assistance site.
