This September, after 2 years of virtual sessions, we are very excited to be hosting the 72nd session of the @WHO Regional Committee for Europe in @TelAviv. We look forward to taking part in discussions on current health issues & the direction of future activities.
🇮🇱Israel has a new Prime Minister. @yairlapid succeeds to @naftalibennett and will lead the Government until the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled to take place on November 1st.
Good luck, @IsraeliPM- "Your success is the success of the country".
בהצלחה לידידי @yairlapid, שייכנס לתפקיד ראש הממשלה. גם בזמן בחירות, עלינו לזכור שיש לנו מדינה עם אתגרים גדולים לנהל. עזרתי ותמיכתי יהיו נתונות לך כמו לכל ראש ממשלה. הצלחתך היא הצלחת המדינה!
Such a beautiful way to mark the last day of #PrideMonth !
#DiplomatsForEquality, Civil society representatives, UN staff & advocates coloured in rainbow the Human Rights Council Chamber @UNGeneva! Proud of Israel's strong voice in favor of #LGBTQI persons' rights. #HRC50#pride
The Syrian government knows no limits.
It has killed so many of its own people.
It has used Sarin gas against innocent civilians.
It has overseen a campaign of systemic rape & sexual abuse in its prisons.
We must continue to work towards holding it to account. #HCR50
Yet, deaths only tell part of the story. The Syrian government has detained hundreds of thousands more innocent people. In detention, civilians as young as 11 have faced systemic violence, including rape and torture. #HRC50
In later years of this conflict, the government used chemical weapons. It used Chlorine gas. It used weapons of mass destruction on its own people. #HRC50
On the 15th of March, 2011, #Syrian civilians took to the streets demanding democratic reforms and a better life.
These civilians were met with bullets.
They were met with torture.
They were met by the Syrian government who knows no limits. #HRC50
This is murderous policy of the #Assad regime in #Syria Thread⤵️
350,209 documented deaths.
306,887 civilians
27,126 children
51,731 civilians killed in #Aleppo
47,483 civilians killed in Rural #Damascus
22,064 civilians killed in #Darra
The sheer numbers are horrific #HRC50
🇮🇱FM @yairlapid called on @WHO, @ICRC and organizations working with persons with psychosocial disabilities, to condemn #Hamas for its inhumane behavior and to demand it act according to international law and free the civilians and bodies it is holding.

In Geneva, we tackle essential human rights matters and we challenge all forms of racism and discrimination. Yet, it is time for the Human Rights Council and other organisations in Geneva to take a lead against #antisemitism and make it a priority.
This 8-points Action Plan is a crucial step in the fight against #antisemitism.
1️⃣Zero tolerance policy
2️⃣Establish dedicated structures
3️⃣Educate society
4️⃣Monitor incidents
5️⃣Ensure safety & practice
6️⃣Address antisemitism online
7️⃣Solidarity
8️⃣Int'l Organizations to step up
Today from Geneva, we presented the first UN Action Plan on Combating #Antisemitism, prepared by SR @ahmedshaheed!
We call on the United Nations as a whole, in Geneva, NY & across all its bodies and agencies, to implement this practical guide & properly address Jewish hatred! 🧵
OHCHR’s statement once again deplorably fails to mention the main obstacle to establishing the truth in this tragic incident: the Palestinian Authority’s refusal to conduct a joint investigation and hand over the bullet.
