We are saddened to learn of the passing of Élie Buzyn z'l. Élie survived the #Holocaust, became a Doctor, raised a large family & shared his testimony until his very last day. In 2017 @UNGeneva, we committed to become "les temoins des temoins". May his memory be a blessing.

We are all saddened by the death of Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin today. We agree with @UNHumanRights on the need for a transparent investigation into #ShireenAbuAkleh death. Sadly the Palestinian Authority has rejected all calls for one so far.
We are appalled at the killing of journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh while covering an Israeli military operation in Jenin, #Palestine.
Our Office is on the ground verifying the facts.
We urge an independent, transparent investigation into her killing. Impunity must end.
Welcome back to the Human Rights Council, the Czech Republic 🇨🇿

🇨🇿 would like to thank the UN Member States for their important support.
We look forward to cooperating with Governments as well as Civil Society and other stakeholders.
What starts with incitement ends in murder.
#Hamas and other extremist groups are actively inciting to murder Jews, disseminating lies and fake news on social media.
It’s not only terror that must be condemned and acted upon, but the widespread incitement that fuels it.
Yesterday, Human Rights activist @YaelSherer, a leader in the fight to combat gender violence, was among the 12 Israelis lighting a torch at the national ceremony in honor of Israel's 74th Independence Day.
A powerful message to end violence against women. #YomHaatzmaut
יעל שרר, ראש הלובי למלחמה באלימות מינית, משיאה משואה: "לכבוד האחיות והאחים שלי, הנפגעים והנפגעות. היו שביקשו לגזול את כבודנו. היום - אנחנו מקבלות ומקבלים אותו בחזרה. אין לנו במה להתבייש. לא אנחנו נסתיר את פנינו. לכבוד האמונה שגם אם הדרך ארוכה - אפשר לרפא, ואפשר לתקן"
