Ensuring that persons with #disabilities can fully enjoy their rights, in Israel & worldwide, is a top priority for us.
We are proud to exchange - today & tomorrow - with the @UN Committee on the rights of persons with disabilities, in order to achieve equality for all. #CRPD

We have just opened the inspiring 🇮🇱photo exhibition "Living Together" @UNGeneva. 21 photographs reflecting the inclusion of persons with #disabilities across Israeli society.
This exhibition by @Netzivut is also a great way to promote their rights, and we are proud to showcase it on the sidelines of the session of the @UN Committee on the Rights of persons with disabilities, ahead of Israel's review before the #CRPD tomorrow and Thursday.
Thank you to 🇺🇳@UN_Valovaya, 🇮🇱Dan Rashal, 🇮🇱Odelia Fitoussi for sharing your visions during this opening event.

For 9 years now, Hadar Goldin, Oron Shaul, Avera Mengistu and Hisham el-Sayed have been held captive by the Hamas terrorist organization in complete violation and disregard to international law.
Today, their families were in Geneva, calling for the return of their loved ones.

Terrorists are using the Jenin Camp as their hideout to launch attacks against Israelis!
The counter-terrorism operation targeted a number of explosives manufacturing facilities already, and hundreds of explosive devices and firearms, as well as guidebooks to produce explosives were seized.
Israel will not stand idle while terrorists continue to harm civilians.

27 Cadets of Israel's Civil Service flagship program visited #Geneva.
They engaged the @wto, @WHO officials, met with #HumanRights organizations, learned about Jewish life in the #Diaspora, and discussed Israel's bilateral relations with the US and German Ambassadors.
The cadets are now better equipped to continue their training and become tomorrow's leaders in Israel's Civil Service.
