Three Israelis were murdered and another three injured earlier today in a horrific terror attack perpetrated by a Palestinian terrorist.
We pray for the injured and mourn for the families of the victims whose lives will never be the same.
May their memory be a blessing.

The Iranian regime and its IRGC affiliates must be banned from all ports around the world.
The violent and oppressive Iranian regime uses its fleet of ships to threaten and intimidate countries around the world.
Today, Mr Sagi Dagan, VP & Head of Strategy at the 🇮🇱 Innovation Authority spoke at a @UNECE panel on Transformative Innovation. He highlighted Israel's expertise regarding #autonomous public transport & the need to develop new policies & regulations in the field of #innovation!
At #UPR41, #Israel commended Brazil for the introduction of the National Plan against Femicide in 2021 & recommended that #Brazil fully implement comprehensive strategies to prevent violence against #women. 🇮🇱🇧🇷
Next up, #UPR review of #Netherlands 🇳🇱 tomorrow!
Emma Adjadj shared her story and that of her family earlier this year @UNGeneva on #Holocaust Remembrance Day.
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.

PM Lapid: "We call upon on all the countries that supported yesterday’s proposal to reconsider their position and oppose it when it’s voted upon in the General Assembly. The way to resolve the conflict does not pass through the corridors of the UN or other international bodies."

Prime Minister Yair Lapid:
“Israel strongly rejects the Palestinian resolution at the United Nations.
This is another unilateral Palestinian move which undermines the basic principles for resolving the conflict and may harm any possibility for a future process.
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.

A pleasure to meet AY Young who is 1 of 17 @UN and @UNDP Sustainable Goals Leaders (#SDGs). Besides being a singer, dancer & performer he is passionate about solving the climate crisis.
I invited him to visit 🇮🇱 in the near future to find ways to partner together for this cause.
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!

At #COP27 I spelled out my vision for a Renewable Middle East: a regional ecosystem of sustainable peace. This global and especially Middle Eastern emergency requires us to join hands and confront the climate crisis together. It threatens our future and all our children's future.

An honor to tour the Israeli pavilion at @COP27P in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt with President @Isaac_Herzog.
@Israel is proud to partner with our neighbors to create a greener, more sustainable future for the region.

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
