#OTD 31 years ago, the Israeli Embassy in Argentina was attacked by Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization.
29 people were killed after a powerful bomb shattered the building @IsraelArgentina.
Today, we remember the victims.
Today, we continue to call for justice.
#HRC52 | Israel is fully committed to eradicating all forms of violence against children and to ensure an inclusive, safe, protective & empowering environment.
The adoption last year of an Israeli-led resolution on countering cyberbullying against children is testament to this.
"The burden must be not placed on children to ensure their own safety online"
In addition to adequate response to online violence through government legislation and by the technology industry, proactive and sustained prevention must be a priority.

Women are being murdered,detained & raped in #Iran for having the will to fight the regimes repressive policies.
"On #InternationalWomensDay, it is important to show them that we stand with them,that we see their struggle & that we too demand their freedom."-@Adi_Farjon#HRC52
Women & girls represent more than half of the world’s population, yet, no country has achieved #gender equality.
On #InternationalWomensDay and every day, we renew our commitment to advancing #women's rights in Israel and across the world.

Beautiful! The scroll of The Book of Esther unrolled @UNGeneva.
#Purim is about the survival of the Jewish People against the annihilation threats of Persia's Haman.
Today's reading is a reminder of the importance for the Jewish People to have its own sovereign State 🇮🇱.

The HR situation in #Afghanistan is catastrophic!
The Taliban must roll back all measures aimed at erasing women & girls from all aspects of society.
At #HRC52, I called on @SR_Afghanistan to focus a future report on the violence & discrimination faced by LGBTQI+ persons.
Always inspiring visiting @CERN!
We celebrated the 30th anniversary of @ALICEexperiment with a visit by the 🇮🇱Mission.
@CERN is a unique place in the world devoted to finding the fundamentals of our universe. Proud of Israel's involvement in this scientific endeavour.

Today I have written a number of letters highlighting numerous discriminatory comments and tweets made by the NY Director of OHCHR. I am demanding action.
No other country would accept such bias and hatred. Change must come. It must come now!
We have been made aware of several outrageous tweets & comments by a senior official at OHCHR targeting Israel.
This is not a one off. @UNHumanRights has a systemic problem when it comes to discrimination & prejudice against Israel.

Syria's FM just spoke at the @UN_HRC
What the representative of this murderous regime forgot to mention:
❌ 300,000 deaths at the hands of the Syrian regime
❌ Use of chemical weapons against innocent Syrians
❌ Systemic torture and rape in Syrian prisons
Maybe next time...
The 52nd session of the UN🇺🇳 Human Rights Council heard from Fayssal Mekdad, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the Syrian Arab Republic 🇸🇾

The Iranian FM is about to speak at the #ConferenceOnDisarmament while his regime continues to:
⚠️Build up nuclear military capabilities
⚠️Blatantly violate their safeguards obligations
⚠️Spread terrorism across the world
I won't be there & call on others to do the same!

Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness & Response requires global action & strong leadership.
We are proud of Israel's role together with Morocco in leading the High Level Statement on #PPPR.
This week 🇮🇱@giladerdan1 will be in Geneva to meet with relevant actors.
Met Ambassadors 🇲🇦 Omar Hilale & 🇮🇱 @giladerdan1, #UNGA high-level meeting on pandemic preparedness & response co-facilitators, which aims to:
-gain political leadership the 🌍 needs to prevent a #COVID19 repeat
-support @WHO's role in global health & #PandemicAccord negotiations
The Iranian FM addressing #HRC52 is an insult to the millions of courageous Iranians fighting for their freedom.
An affront to the thousands killed, tortured & raped in detention by the regime.
Israel stands by the 🇮🇷people. The @UN_HRC must as well.
The Palestinian FM just spoke at the #HRC52.
He failed to mention:
❌ the Israeli victims of Palestinian terrorism
❌ the PA's brutal oppression of its critics
❌ the PA's pay-to-slay policy which encourages the murder of innocent Israelis
Hypocrisy indeed…
Hillel Yaniv, 21.

Two brothers brutally murdered this morning by a Palestinian terrorist who opened fire at their car.
The international community must stop turning a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism and incitement.
The High Commissioner has once again turned a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism.
Yesterday, Israeli forces sought to arrest terrorists responsible for carrying out deadly attacks on Israelis & who were preparing to carry out more attacks.
Our statement bit.ly/3SmtS9H
The High Commissioner has once again turned a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism.
We call on him to:
➡️Condemn Palestinian terrorism.
➡️Call on the PA take action against terrorism.
➡️Demand the PA ends its pay-for-slay policy.
