Israeli quantum tech just landed a $2.3 BILLION deal. Intel is acquiring Israeli startup Classiq, founded just six years ago and now employing around 150 people. Another massive vote of confidence in 🇮🇱 innovation. ⚛️💰 calcalistech.com/ctechnews/a…

The strength of Israeli democracy lies in its people. Yesterday, Israel recorded its highest voter turnout since 1999, with 77.7% casting their ballots. 🇮🇱🗳️

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.

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 After your U.S. visa was revoked, yesterday we had to hear them over Zoom.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.

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…

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.

Only in 🇮🇱! Ahead of tomorrow’s elections, Israeli service providers have replaced their network names with a simple message: “GO VOTE”. A creative reminder that every vote matters.

L’arresto di Youssef Siher riporta alla luce una realtà che non è possibile più ignorare: il “palestinismo” è un’ideologia di radicalizzazione e sovversione che strumentalizza la causa palestinese per minare dall’interno le società occidentali. Una minaccia concreta alla sicurezza, alla stabilità e ai valori delle istituzioni democratiche, che non può più essere sottovalutata né tollerata.

Pleased to meet today in Jerusalem with MEP @hildebentele, Chair of the European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with Israel. We discussed regional developments: Iran, Gaza, Lebanon and more. I thanked her for standing with Israel and for her efforts in promoting EU-Israel relations.

How does 🇮🇱 democracy work? In Israel, every citizen aged 18 and over has the right to vote. One vote determines which party they support. The results determine how the 120 seats in the Knesset are distributed, which parties enter parliament and who can form a government. A 3.25% electoral threshold. A parliamentary majority of 61 seats.
