What an amazing evening in Geneva with hundreds of guests singing, dancing (yes: Ambassadors too) and celebrating with us #Israel75 with the talented artists of The Shalva Band!
The Shalva Band truly represents the best of Israel's inclusive society and, wow, they were on fire!
Dozens of rockets have been fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians civilian, leaving them running to bomb shelters.
In response, the @IDF struck weapon manufacturing sites, military compounds and underground terrorist tunnels belonging to terrorist organizations.
“Anything is possible with a little bit of faith”
75 years ago today, Israel became a country.
It hasn't always been easy, but it's been an incredible journey. Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameah' 🇮🇱
#Israel75
75 years ago, the State of Israel was established. It was born out of the blood of its sons & daughters, the sweat of its pioneers, and the vision of its prophets.
Today, we honour the 24,213 fallen soldiers and 4,255 victims of terror.
May their memory be a blessing.🕯🇮🇱
Over the next 26 hours, Israel will pause and remember the 24,213 fallen soldiers and 4,255 victims of terror since Israel's founding.
We remember and honor the brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
May their memory be a blessing 🇮🇱🕯
