#HRC38 We also applaud the inclusion of the possible violations of human rights committed by non-state actors, and we invite @victor_madrigal to pay special attention to the violence committed against #LGBTI persons by radical terrorist groups, such as #Hamas in Gaza. @UN_HRC
#HRC38 Last week, 250K ppl gathered in @TelAviv to celebrate the Gay #Pride Parade. People celebrating freedom, petitioning for more rights & expressing their #SOGI. Israel is proud that such a unique event in the Middle East took place in our country.

Violent Non-State actors have a responsibility too, when it comes to the violations of human rights they commit, insists @YoelMester, Israel's Deputy Permanent Representative at the #UN. @UNHumanRights
"Special Rapporteurs should pay more attention to the responsibility of Non-State actors, and specifically terror groups in control of territories, not to violate human rights", #Hamas#Gaza
Just imagine: New York Times Square's famous big screens synchronized to celebrate #Israel70...
🔜On Sunday, this won't be a dream anymore! 🇮🇱🤩

Iran is financing, arming, training and equipping Hamas and the Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations in Gaza, which target Israeli civilians and are fueled by Iran's terrorist ideology.
Says who? Hamas itself.

#ILC2018 Israel is strongly committed to combatting violence and #harassment in the world of work, and in particular sexual harassment. An inter-ministerial delegation from Jerusalem is hard at work negotiating a possible instrument @ilo#DecentWork#FutureOfWork
An important statement from #UN official @nmladenov regarding the more than 100 rockets sent by Iranian-backed Hamas terror group on Israeli civilians.
It is UNACCEPTABLE to indiscriminately fire at civilian communities! I am deeply concerned by today’s rockets fired by #Palestinian militants towards Southern #Israel, one of which hit close to a kindergarten. Such actions undermine efforts to improve the situation in #Gaza. #UN
The shooting of rockets this morning from #Gaza, one of them landing in the yard of an empty kindergarten (!), demonstrates the grave danger #Hamas represents to Israeli civilians. No country would or should accept such threats to its civilian population. Neither do we .
Very pleased to host @UNECE Executive Secretary @algayerova in #Israel, for the @MCTC_Haifa Int'l #Women Leaders Conference.
We need such inspiring leaders to help breaking the glass ceiling and achieve, together, #SDGs.
The #2030Agenda recognizes the pivotal role of women as drivers of change in all areas of political, economic and social life.

👏👏Great news from #WHA71, as the new @WHO 5-year strategic plan has been adopted! Israel was very active in the drafting process, and supportive of @DrTedros's vision to achieve #HealthforAll. #GPW13
It took this @UNHumanRights Council four years to relapse to its worse form of anti-Israel obsession. What this Special Session has already succeeded in doing is to empower Hamas and reward its terror strategy.

Welcome on Twitter @YoelMester! Follow our 🇮🇱Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva and get insights on top human rights and humanitarian issues.
The @UNHumanRights Council on the way to another unnecessary special session on Israel this Friday. Almost a third of such sessions of HRC to date were dedicated to the one country in the Mideast that actually cares about #HumanRights.
🔴UPDATE: Today Hamas has rejected the donated #humanitarian aid that has already entered Gaza, despite the dire situation of the health system. It has instructed the local authorities to return them to Israel.
Still think that Gazans' problem is Israel? Their problem is Hamas
