Together with other countries, we established a task force at the United Nations to combat antisemitism. Antisemitism is raising its head around the world and within the walls of the United Nations as well. An institution founded on the ruins of the Holocaust cannot turn a blind eye to the wave of antisemitism within it. Ahead of the election of the next UN secretary-general, we are setting a clear demand: combating antisemitism must be at the top of the list of priorities. The era of words is over. It is time for action.
Translated from HebrewSince the Labour Party came to power in the UK, the British government has adopted a firm anti-Israel stance. It has now imposed sanctions on Israel, even as the Palestinian Authority continues to pay terrorists in Judea and Samaria! Domestic political calculations in Britain are being used to try to influence Israeli politics.
Since Labour came to power, the British government has been pursuing a clearly anti-Israel line. It is now imposing sanctions on Israel, while the Palestinian Authority continues to pay salaries to terrorists in Judea and Samaria. This is a decision born of political considerations in Britain, in an attempt to influence the electoral system in Israel.
Translated from HebrewIn my interview with Piers Morgan, I spoke about the UN’s hypocrisy. As part of humanitarian efforts, we are allowing rubble to be cleared in certain areas. Now, UN officials are claiming that clearing the rubble will “destroy evidence.” Somehow, even this has been twisted by the UN into an absurd accusation against Israel. No matter what happens, somehow Israel always ends up being blamed. At this point, even I had to laugh.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, I spoke about the UN's hypocrisy: no matter what happens, Israel is ultimately to blame. As part of humanitarian activity, we are allowing rubble to be cleared in certain areas, and now UN officials are claiming that clearing the rubble is intended to “make evidence disappear”; even this, the UN has managed to turn into an absurd accusation against Israel. At this point, it even made me laugh.
Translated from HebrewIn an interview with Piers Morgan, I spoke about the hypocrisy of the UN: No matter what happens - in the end, Israel is to blame. The rubble is being cleared from Gaza to enable the rehabilitation of the Strip, and even that the UN managed to turn into an absurd accusation against Israel. At this point, it had already made even me laugh.
Translated from HebrewIs this stupidity or just plain hatred? Francesca Albanese, @FranceskAlbs, is attacking Israel - her favorite pastime - this time for clearing rubble from Gaza, while the UN itself is promoting the removal of rubble as part of humanitarian efforts in the Strip. https://t.co/84gF7y7Vuv
It was a pleasure to meet with Togo’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Professor Robert Dussey, @rdussey. We discussed the challenges in the international arena and ways we can deepen cooperation between our two countries. Together, we will continue to strengthen the ties between Israel and Togo. 🇹🇬🤝🇮🇱
Is this more stupidity or simply hatred? Francesca Albanese, @FranceskAlbs, attacks Israel (as usual), this time over clearing rubble from Gaza - while the UN itself is promoting the removal, crushing and recycling of rubble as part of humanitarian activity in the Strip.
Translated from HebrewI was pleased to meet with Togo's Foreign Minister, Professor Robert Dussey, @rdussey. We discussed the shared challenges on the international stage and ways to deepen cooperation between the two countries. Together, we will continue working to strengthen ties between Israel and Togo.
Translated from HebrewIndeed. The UN needs to be more disciplined - and most importantly, it needs to end its obsessive bias against Israel. It's time to return to the UN's founding principles, established 80 years ago in the aftermath of the Holocaust, to ensure such a tragedy could never happen again. We expect the next Secretary-General to repair what you have broken and bring the UN back to its founding mission.
I thank my good friend, President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, @Presidence_RDC, for his decision to move his country’s embassy to Jerusalem, Israel’s capital. More than a decade ago, when Félix was still a presidential candidate, he shared with me his deep personal connection to Jerusalem and his vision of establishing an embassy there. Today, he is turning that vision into reality. As it is written in the Book of Genesis: “I will bless those who bless you.” 🇮🇱🤝🇨🇩
I thank my good friend, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Félix Tshisekedi, for his decision to move his country's embassy to Jerusalem, Israel's capital. More than a decade ago, when we met in New York and he was still a presidential candidate, Félix told me about his personal and deep connection to Jerusalem and his vision of establishing his country's embassy there. Today he is fulfilling his promise and turning the vision into reality. “I will bless those who bless you” — whoever blesses the people of Israel is blessed himself.
Translated from HebrewI commend Peru for its important decision to sever diplomatic relations with the Iranian regime. There is no place for “business as usual” with a regime that represses its own people, spreads terrorism and violence across the Middle East, and threatens international peace and security. Other countries should follow Peru’s lead.
I welcome Peru’s important decision to sever diplomatic relations with the Iranian regime. There is no room for “business as usual” with a regime that oppresses its people, spreads terror and violence throughout the Middle East, and threatens international peace and security. More countries should follow Peru’s lead.
Translated from HebrewWe welcome Major General Tal Politis, who has taken up his position as the IDF attaché in the United States. The security and strategic challenges facing us are significant, and I have no doubt that his extensive experience will greatly assist in dealing with them. Tal, good luck in your important position!
Translated from HebrewUN Secretary-General @antonioguterres met with the President of Iran today and expressed concern about the suffering of the Iranian people caused by the war. But what about the suffering caused by the regime itself? Protesters shot in the streets. Executions. The brutal repression of its own people. On that, Guterres had nothing to say.
UN Secretary-General Guterres met with Iran's president today and expressed concern about the harm to the Iranian people as a result of the war. And what about the harm to the Iranian people by the regime itself? Shooting at protesters, executions, and the brutal oppression of its citizens. Guterres did not say a word about that.
Translated from Hebrew@FranceskAlbs, even Secretary-General @antonioguterres - no friend of Israel - recognizes that you are a problem. You’re an antisemite who has repeatedly abused your UN mandate to spread hatred and lies against Israel. The system is broken. Secretary-General Guterres enabled it, and you are a symptom of the problem.
After many years of severed ties between our nations, I recently met with Venezuela’s Ambassador to the UN, Coromoto Godoy Calderón, @GodoyCoromotoVE. We discussed strengthening relations between our countries, renewing consular ties, and the Israeli assistance sent to Venezuela following the earthquake. Israel and Venezuela will continue working to deepen our cooperation, both internationally and at the United Nations.

We will continue working to deepen cooperation between Israel and Venezuela, in the international arena and at the UN.
Translated from HebrewOn the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we stand with victims and their families around the world. Israel knows all too well the pain of having loved ones taken away. We will never forget.
Israel stands with the United States in the fight against terrorism and welcomes its decision to designate “Palestine Action” as a terrorist organization. Unsurprisingly, @volker_turk once again chooses to stand on the wrong side of history by condemning this decision. The UN’s condemnation only supports terrorism.

Volker Türk, unsurprisingly, once again chooses the wrong side of history and condemns the decision. Condemnation of the decision by the UN = a tailwind for terrorism.
