#Israel is a diverse and multicultural society. We exert great efforts to promote #inclusion and equal opportunities for all. Haya Abbas speaks at #HRC53 (in #Arabic) about specific educational programs for the Arab community and persons with disabilities. WATCH⤵️

27 Cadets of Israel's Civil Service flagship program visited #Geneva. They engaged the @wto, @WHO officials, met with #HumanRights organizations, learned about Jewish life in the #Diaspora, and discussed Israel's bilateral relations with the US and German Ambassadors. The cadets are now better equipped to continue their training and become tomorrow's leaders in Israel's Civil Service.

I spoke with my friend, UK Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly about the latest developments in the region. I thanked him for promoting British legislation against boycotts and BDS groups. We agreed that action must be taken to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which would destabilize the Middle East and the entire world. We also agreed that we will meet again soon in Israel 🇮🇱🇬🇧

A joint IDF, ISA & Israel Police announcement: "In recent days, violent attacks have been carried out by Israelis in Judea and Samaria against innocent Palestinians. These attacks contradict every moral and Jewish value; they constitute, in every way, nationalist terrorism, and we are obliged to fight them." 1/4

Israel is a country of law and order. We cannot accept a situation where citizens attack local population. Even when we suffer atrocious terror attacks, revenge should not be our response. We should all trust our security forces and law enforcement organizations and allow them to fulfill their duties according to the law and their responsibility.

We are encouraged by the joint statement on femicide/feminicide led by @CyprusInGeneva and @IsraelinGeneva on behalf of 69 states today at the #HRC53. We will continue to join our forces to improve data collection and work on prevention to end violence against women and girls.

Four Israelis were murdered and a number of others injured in a horrific shooting attack by Palestinian terrorists outside a gas station in the Binyamin region. Our hearts are with the families of the victims and we pray for the recovery of the injured.

Thank you to 🇺🇸Amb. Michèle Taylor for leading this #HRC53 Joint Statement and rallying 27 countries to speak out against the CoI targeting Israel. "The COI is further demonstration of long-standing, disproportionate attention given to Israel in the Human Rights Council, and must stop." In just a year, the CoI published two biased reports, held kangaroo-style hearings and made antisemitic comments. Thank you to those standing up against the institutional discrimination against Israel @UN_HRC.

Today, as the Commission of Inquiry against Israel issued its latest one sided and false report, a group of 27 countries, led by the US, issued a joint statement calling to oppose the open mandate of the COI and stop the obsession of the Human Rights Council with Israel. To quote the JS: "We believe the nature of the COI established in May 2021 is further demonstration of long-standing, disproportionate attention given to Israel in the Council and must stop." The COI is a stain on the UN and on the Human Rights Council. Its Commissioners were selected for their anti-Israeli positions and continue in their roles despite antisemitic statements. There is no place for such a body at the UN. Thank you to the US and the other 25 countries, who stood up against this body and called for an end to discrimination against Israel at the UN. 🇦🇱🇦🇹🇧🇬🇨🇲🇭🇷🇨🇦🇨🇿🇫🇯🇬🇹🇭🇺🇮🇹🇰🇪🇱🇷🇫🇲🇳🇷🇲🇰🇲🇭🇵🇼🇵🇬🇵🇱🇸🇰🇸🇿🇹🇩🇹🇬🇬🇧🇺🇸
