We are committed to bring our soldiers back home and call upon the international community to join us in putting an end to this humanitarian travesty and bring Hadar and Oron to rest in Israel.
During the last couple of days I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Leah Goldin, a remarkable woman and mother of Hadar, an IDF soldier who was killed by Hamas terrorists during a #UN ceasefire in Gaza in summer 2014. Since then, Hamas is refusing to return his remains.

28 years after being revoked by #UNGA , the PA representative in Geneva praised res. 3379, which claimed that Zionism is Racism, taking us back to the @UN's darkest days!
These poisonous words cannot remain unanswered. They must be condemned. #CERD #HRC42 @UNHumanRights

Avera is among the four Israelis held by Hamas in Gaza.
Over the past days, we've arranged meetings for his parents to raise awareness about Avera's fate among Geneva-based dignitaries.
Read the thread below by @AmbRazShechter
We will not rest until they are all back home!
For 5 long years, Agarnesh & Ayaline have had no info about the fate of their son, Avera - an Israeli civilian mentally unstable - who is being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
Over the past days, I have accompanied Avera's parents during their humanitarian visit in Geneva.

There could not have been any worse way to mark #SignLanguage Day!
The Embassy of #Israel expresses its shock and dismay following the ugly initiative of creating a new sign in Flemish sign language for "Jew": a hooked nose. Its sole purpose is the promotion of #AntiSemitic stereotypes.
