📢PRESS RELEASE
Rather than following its own rules calling for objectivity and impartiality, the Human Rights Council has once again chosen a rapporteur because of their bias and activism against Israel.

Ensuring human rights is not a joke. But Item 7 is. It is not about human rights. It is only a relic of a darker past. A relic whose only goal is to demonize Israel.
Today, on #AprilsFools, it is time for #HRC49 to embrace reality and oppose Item 7. #EndBiasVoteNo

#BREAKING: The Human Rights Council abolishes Item 7 from the @UN_HRC Permanent Agenda! After 16 years of diplomatic fight, the world came to reason! An important day for Israel and the world. An essential step for the credibility of the Council. #HRC49

In reality, any objective resolution would mention the victims of Hamas, or accountability for the critics of the PA. But this resolution was written by the PA, absolving themselves of any responsibility or blame, & tabled by Pakistan, which does not even recognize Israel.#HRC49
This week, 11 civilians were murdered in Israel by terrorists. But today, #HRC49 is voting once again on a resolution that only serves to attack Israel, play a cynical political game & reinforce HRC's echo chamber of fantasy & hatred against Israel.

Nearly 1200 people were treated in a week at 🇮🇱#ShiningStar field hospital for refugees in west 🇺🇦#Ukraine.
Here's a behind the scenes look at the #ShiningStar field hospital.
11 Israelis murdered in terrorist attacks in one week.
11 Israelis who will never hug their mothers, fathers, siblings & children again.
Our prayers are with the victims and their families during this time.
May the memory of those killed be a blessing.

FM Lapid: "Last night we decided to make the #Negev_Summit into a permanent forum. We are today opening a door before all the peoples of the region, including the Palestinians, & offering them to replace the way of terror & destruction with a shared future of progress & success."
The resolution, cosponsored by Israel, also expresses grave concern over the humanitarian crisis developing in Ukraine & calls for the delivery of humanitarian aid.

#WorldTuberculosisDay | According to @WHO, TB remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers.
A new Israeli #tuberculosis-detecting skin patch will reduce the huge number of people who die from the disease due to a lack of diagnosis. Hope.

WATCH | Responding to a disgraceful statement made by Iran at #HRC49, Israel's delegate set the record straight:
1. Iran is a gross human rights violator.
2. Israel is here to stay!

The #COVID19 pandemic took its toll on all of us, creating a strain on people's mental health. In Israel, the social security system expanded to respond to this crisis.

PS: Bravo @YifahMG on your 1st statement @UN as an 🇮🇱diplomat!
Inclusion may not mean the same to each one of us, but there can be no doubt that persons with #DownSyndrome should be included. Each one of us should learn from them, and work together to make that a reality.#InclusionMeans
