Today in Geneva, @MeiravEShahar signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of the @IsraelMFA Training Department and @UPEACE!
Together, they will create academic programmes & modules for Israeli Diplomats and employees of governmental agencies dealing with international relations.
Today, we woke to horrific news of a deadly terrorist attack against innocent civilians in Jerusalem.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families.
A horrific morning in Jerusalem.
1 killed and 18 hurt in two separate terrorist attacks in which two bombs went off at two bus stops.
We mourn for the victim who was murdered and pray for the recovery of the injured.
Today, we took part in the @UNGeneva Women's Guild Bazaar 🇮🇱🇺🇳. Our staff from the mission helped fundraise by selling plenty of Israeli wine, sweets and souvenirs.
What should we sell next year? Matkot? Bamba? Ptitim?

We remember her strength, her humour, her humanity.

Extremely saddened by the passing of Emma Adjadj ז"ל.
As a child, she survived the #Holocaust, escaping roundups, hiding across France. Her mother & three of her siblings were killed in #Auschwitz, after being arrested in le Château de la Verdière.
May her memory be a blessing.
Israel warmly welcomed the delegation from #India to #UPR41 and commended it for increasing women’s participation in the work force.
#Israel also welcomed the adoption of the #Transgender Persons Act in 2019.
90 Jews murdered
1400 synagogues & Jewish businesses vandalized
30,000 Jews sent to concentration camps
All in the span of 48 hours
Today we remember #Kristallnacht which marks the beginning of the Holocaust
It starts with words but it doesn’t end there.
Today, #Israel warmly welcomed the delegation of #Morocco to #UPR41 & commended steps it has taken to address violence and discrimination against women & the advancement of older persons rights.
Our partnership continues to grow in the multilateral arena #AbrahamAccords!
Today at #UPR41, Israel recommended that #Tunisia decriminalises homosexuality & ends harassment, intimidation & persecution of those exercising their right to freedom of expression.
Tunisia rejected all recommendations because they were made by #Israel. Welcome to the #UNHRC!
This Commission of Inquiry and the convening of these sham trials shame and undermine the Human Rights Council.
The Human Rights Council should not be used to convene kangaroo courts. 4/4
No public hearing can be taken seriously when it is chaired by people who are evidently biased,
when it is evident it is based on predetermined conclusions,
when it is convened last-minute, without transparency on modalities and participation. 3/4
The CoI once again disregards independence and impartially and, once again, chooses to focus on its anti-Israel agendas.
The Commissioners pretend they care about international law and human rights but convene public hearings that any autocracy would be proud of. 2/4
Over the upcoming five days, the UN Commission of Inquiry targeting Israel intends to simultaneously play judge, jury, and executioner by holding so-called public hearings in Geneva. 1/4
Finally!
After months of preparation #COP27 is kicking off!
Israel is of course in #SharmElSheikh showcasing some of our best innovations for a #sustainable world!
Come say 👋 if you're around.

Stefan Lux, a Jew from Czechoslovakia, shoots himself in front of world leaders.
He wanted to alert the world on the danger the Nazis represented.
His suicide will be vain.
Today, on his birthday, we remember his courage.
