Arab citizens of Israel voted 10 times in parliamentary elections since 2006. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority has denied Palestinians the right to vote for 20 years. Yet there’s no outrage. No headlines. Just silence. 📸 Amir Levy / Stringer / GETTY

In Israel, women, peace and security are not just words. They are the mothers who lost sons on October 7 and chose to run for the Knesset. They are brave women who served as Nahal Oz observers and the women diplomats working to bring hope to the people of Israel & Lebanon 🇮🇱 ♀️🕊️

On October 7, Hamas slaughtered, raped and kidnapped Israelis. And yet @FranceskAlbs argues that Israel cannot invoke the right to defend itself and its people. Even after October 7. Even after everything Hamas did. Someone pushing this agenda has no business holding a @UN human rights mandate. Albanese must go.

It’s always good to speak with my friend, Germany’s Foreign minister @AussenMinDE. 🇩🇪🇮🇱 I updated my counterpart on the elections in Israel, the impressive voter turnout and the emerging results. The elections are a particularly impressive demonstration of the strength and vibrancy of Israeli democracy, the only one in the Middle East. We also discussed developments in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine.

She survived the nightmare of her brother being held hostage by Hamas. Now Emuna Schreiber is hospitalized after being injured in a Palestinian stone-throwing attack in Samaria. Yet another example of the ongoing wave of Palestinian violence targeting Israelis.

The Holocaust showed us exactly what happens when Jews are left defenseless. @FranceskAlbs wants to deny Israel the right to defend itself and protect its people. We know all too well where Jewish defenselessness leads. We will never let that happen again. Someone pushing this agenda has no business holding a @UN human rights mandate. Albanese must go. 📸 Yad Vashem

The UN harbors a moral fugitive who spews hatred for America, the West, Jews, and Israel. Francesca Albanese is institutional poison, doing grave damage to the UN, and tarnishing the work of brave UN personnel who risk their lives to feed the starving and keep the peace.   I know it. You know it. All that remains is to do something about it. Start by saying publicly what you say privately: Albanese must go. @AmbUNReform

We are deeply disturbed and shocked by the terrorist attack on the Embassy of Israel that took place overnight. We strongly condemn it. Terrorism knows no borders. It poses a direct threat to security and peace around the world. Following the incident, I spoke with the Minister of the Interior in a technical mandate, who assured me that the attack would be thoroughly investigated. This is already the second attack on the Embassy of Israel in the past two years. We call for a swift and thorough investigation to discover who is behind this act and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. We express our profound respect and deepest gratitude to the member of the Serbian Gendarmerie. His courage and decisive response prevented even more serious consequences and potentially greater bloodshed. We wish him a swift and full recovery. We confirm that all Embassy staff are safe and well. 📷: MUP Srbije

For centuries, Jews were singled out, demonized, and held to standards demanded of no one else. Today, Israel has become the Jew among nations at the United Nations.     Israel is entitled to the same standards of justice as every other nation—no more and no less. Antisemitism does not become acceptable because it is stamped with the seal of the UN. This so-called Commission of Inquiry is a biased, illegitimate inquisition. We reject it. @AmbUNReform

Apparently, your lies and lunatic statements know no borders, even when you can no longer cross them yourself. We used to endure your lies in the UN halls in New York. After your U.S. visa was revoked, yesterday we had to hear them over Zoom. And we’re not the only ones fed up. Many here at the UN are tired of the hatred and incitement you spread. History remembers those who chose to stand with murderers and rapists.
The behavior of the representative of Apartheid Israel and its accomplices - with their cheap bullying and disgruntled highschoolers' attitude - continue to bring embarrassment and disgrace upon the UN.

Breaking: Switzerland just froze $1.52 million in funding to Doctors Without Borders following reports of at least 59 cases of staff sexually abusing Sudanese refugees in exchange for aid. You wouldn't believe how common this is among international aid organizations

Iran’s links to the anti-Israel protest movement are hardly surprising, and this report highlights just how dangerous they are. The Telegraph reveals that a leading activist had contact with individuals later sanctioned over ties to Iran. The question is no longer just who is leading these protests, but who may be manipulating them behind the scenes.
The leader of an activist group behind pro-Palestine protests in the UK met with two individuals later sanctioned over their links to Iran, The Telegraph can reveal. In 2014, Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of anti-war organisation Code Pink, was in contact with men later identified by US officials as facilitators for the Islamic Republic’s foreign intelligence⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026…

Over the past several months, we have been advancing a winterisation plan for Gaza - here is a summary of the measures taken so far: ⛺️ More than 75,000 tents have entered the Gaza Strip through the UN, international organizations, donor countries, and the private sector, including over 5,000 in the past week alone. 🚛 More than 7,500 trucks carrying clothing, blankets, sanitation supplies, and medical equipment have entered the Gaza Strip. 💧 We coordinated the entry of fuel to support the operation of wastewater drainage systems throughout the Gaza Strip. 🔧 We coordinated repairs and maintenance of the water supply network at the request of international organizations operating in the Gaza Strip. 🚚 We approved the entry of 8 sewage tankers for the @ICRC. 💉 We approved the entry of 7,500 doses of tetanus vaccine for @UNICEF. 🏥 We approved the entry of 3 mobile clinics for @IMC_Worldwide. ⛽️ We approved the entry of medical equipment, fuel, and engine oil for hospitals and medical facilities operated by the @UN and international organizations. We will continue working in cooperation with the @BoardOfPeace, the UN, international organizations, and donor countries to advance winter preparedness efforts and maintain the stability of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, while taking the necessary measures to prevent Hamas from taking control of humanitarian aid and essential supplies intended for the civilian population.

The Commission of Inquiry (COI) report, issued under the auspices of the politicized UN Human Rights Council, is not a human rights report but a propaganda document detached from reality, aimed at undermining Israel’s right to self-defense, delegitimizing the Jewish state, and legitimizing jihadist terrorism against its citizens. The Commission, which was established in 2021, was flawed from the outset and has targeted Israel exclusively since day one. Its activities are an example of the vast UN resources, funding, and personnel devoted to advancing anti-Israel propaganda. This false report says far more about the political agenda of the body behind it than it does about Israel. The fact that the so-called “report” parrots the narrative of terrorist organizations word for word is clear proof of its true nature and motives. This is the shameful legacy of the UN Secretary-General and the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
