As the @UN keeps making excuses for the failure to deliver critical aid to the people of #Gaza We suggest they contact @WFP logistic cluster, that confirms 12 of the 13 aid bottlenecks depends on the UN. The UN needs to be part of the solution.

EXPOSED: Tunnels of Hamas’ general headquarters found within one of Yahya Sinwar’s hideout apartments located in northern Gaza. Part of a long and branching tunnel network, the tunnel shaft in the apartment led to a 218 meter long tunnel, with a depth of about 20 meters. Inside these tunnels, Senior Hamas officials were living comfortably with an electricity network, ventilation and sewage infrastructure, prayer rooms and resting rooms. At the end of the examination and the operational activity conducted along the tunnel route, the tunnel was destroyed by IDF forces.

Israel rejects with disgust the blood libel spread by South Africa in its application to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). South Africa's claim lacks both a factual and a legal basis, and constitutes a despicable and contemptuous exploitation of the Court. South Africa is cooperating with a terrorist organization that is calling for the destruction of the State of Israel. The Hamas terrorist organization - which is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and sought to commit genocide on 7 October - is responsible for the suffering of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by using them as human shields and stealing humanitarian aid from them. Israel is committed to international law and acts in accordance with it, and directs its military efforts solely against the Hamas terrorist organization and the other terrorist organizations cooperating with Hamas. Israel has made it clear that the residents of the Gaza Strip are not the enemy, and is making every effort to limit harm to civilians and to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. We call on the International Court of Justice and the international community to completely reject South Africa’s baseless claims.

Entering Shabbat with one thought in mind: May all 129 hostages come back home! Beautiful and emotional concert with 1,000 musicians gathered in the historic Caesarea amphitheatre, along with hostage families. #BringThemHomeNow #ShabbatShalom

Every winter, the northern Negev region bordering the Gaza Strip is blanketed with red anemone flowers. From mid-January until the end of February, #Israel celebrates the beauty of the red dye of anemone blossoms carpeting the landscape with a festival of activities called “Red South”. On October 7th, the meaning of changed. The fields were drenched in the blood men, women and children, who were brutally massacred by #HamasTerrorists. Neta Geva, is an Israel ceramic artist from Ein HaBesor, one of the villages that was attacked on October 7th. Along with many other volunteers, are creating hundreds of red anemone flowers from clay, to display in graveyards in the south of Israel. The initiative is called “Anemones Before The Rain”. The artist is currently displaced, and it is unknown when she and her community will be able to return to their homes. We sent out flowers in #geneva as a tribute to the lives lost and a small contribution to rebuilding the devastated communities in the south of Israel where anemones grow. As we welcome the new year 2024, we can only hope for a better, safer, more peaceful future for humankind. #StandWithIsrael #NewYear2024

This is the St. Mary’s Greek-Orthodox Church of Iqrit, in Israel. On 26 December, a day after Christmas, Hezbollah fired an anti-tank missile at the Church, partially destroying it and injuring an 80 year old civilian. They later fired another missile, targeting the soldiers who came to rescue the civilian. Here's the (Hezbollah captured and published) video. Hezbollah is no different than Hamas. It targets Israeli civilians and places of worship, while using Lebanon civilian infrastructure as shield. For months now, Hezbollah has been shelling the North of Israel, forcing tens of thousands to leave their communities. This has to stop. The @IDF will continue to act against any threats!

-GRAPHIC CONTENT- "I still remember her voice, screams without words." A painful, must-read article by the @nytimes, collecting testimonies of the sexual violence commited against women and men in Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7. Harrowing. nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world…

Complex Hamas terror tunnels, with elevators and electrical infrastructure, were located near Rantisi Hospital, with a shaft in a nearby girls high school. The amount of resources invested by Hamas in these tunnel networks at the expense of Gaza's well-being is staggering.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of 🇮🇱Ambassador Itzhak Levanon z'l, who served as Israel's Ambassador in Geneva between 2004-2008. For nearly 40 years, Ambassador Levanon proudly represented our country across the world. Born in 1944 in Beirut, from where he was expelled with his family after his mother was arrested and tortured for facilitating the emigration of Jews to Israel, Itzhak Levanon last served as Israel's Ambassador to Egypt (2009-2011), fulfilling his dream of fostering close ties with our Arab neighbours. Today, our thoughts are with his family. May his memory be a blessing.

I strongly condemn and utterly reject the words of Turkish President Erdogan. In all of human history, the Holocaust stands alone in its horror and enormity, and his words are deeply offensive to every Jew around the world, and to the memory of the millions of Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis. The command "Never Again" remains an imperative for the State of Israel - the nation state of the Jewish people - which is committed to the safety and protection of every Jew. There is no struggle more just than the war against the terrorist organization Hamas, which brutally and barbarically murdered Jews, as well as Muslims, and those of other faiths and nationalities.

"If it does not comply with our standard operating procedure, we will abort" IAF Chief of Staff addresses false claims

They have been released. But 129 are still held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. They must all be back home. Now!

This is the entrance to a Hamas terror tunnel in the Bureij camp in Gaza . Hundreds of kilometers of tunnels built in Gaza with tons and tons of cement and millions of dollars - all invested in terrorism instead of investing resources in a better future for innocent Palestinians.

An important step taken by Japan against Hamas officials. We call every country around the world to act against the financing of terrorism!

At the UN, the palestinians and their allies are in a fact denying frenzy. This happens in 2 layers:  First, we hear voices that deny that #Octobre7thMassacre ever happened. Unwilling to even recognize that fact that innocent civilians – men, women, and children - were butchered, sexualy assaulted, dismembered, mutilated, and burned by #terrorists on October 7th 2023. On the second layer, many UN organizations refuse to condemn #HamasTerrorists for their direct responsibility to the suffering of the population in #Gaza. Why can’t the @UN condemn a clear violation of IHL - Hamas' deliberate misuse of hospitals, schools, and mosques as weapons depots, in order to protect themselves and their arsenal. In the meantime, we will remind the world that there is no justification for brutal sexual violence, nor methodical murder of innocent civilians, house to house, family by family. These are self-evident truths. We will not defend these truths with just words. We will defend them with actions. We will not let these terrorists continue to attack #Israel. From an interview I gave 2 weeks ago to @News9Tweets

What does OHCHR consider a trustworthy source of information? A Hamas propaganda organization, which routinely spreads misinformation, blood libel, and endorses October 7 attacks on Israel and civilians. One that rejoices at Hamas bloodthirsty October 7 terrorist attacks as "amazing", one that considers the men who raped, burnt families alive and kidnapped toddlers as "heroic knights who created for us pure glory," one that spends its time whitewashing Hamas crimes and calls for "Israel's end". @UNHumanRights' latest statement is further revealing how they are operating, with one goal alone: use the UN perceived "credibility" to attack Israel.

All these weapons were found in a school in Gaza City. Hamas is abusing sites and locations which are supposed to enjoy special protection under the Geneva Convention and humanitarian law - including U.N. facilities, schools, clinics, mosques, churches and hospitals.

Wishing all our Christian friends in Israel, Geneva and around the world, a Merry #Xmas 🎄🤶
