I had the pleasure of meeting 🇧🇷H.E. Damares Alves, Minister of Women, Family & Human Rights, on the sidelines of #HRC43.
We discussed ways to further strengthen the strong cooperation & friendship between Israel & Brazil, both in our countries and in the multilateral arena.
According to @WHO, about 25% of the world's population will live by 2025 in areas with #water scarcity.
💧Access to clean water is therefore a lifeline, and this #Israeli technology will certainly contribute to enhancing the lives of millions of people around the world. #SDGs
What if we told you that #water can be produced from the air, even in the #desert?
Well it can.
Researchers @ 🇮🇱's @TechnionLive have developed a standalone system that does exactly that, which can provide water to small & isolated communities. #SDG13

Israelis manage to produce water from the air - in the desert
Technion Civil & Environmental Engineering Profs develop a moisture harvesting system that produces water from the air, even in desert regions, capable of providing a constant supply of water.

This morning, a rocket fired from Gaza hit a kindergarten in Southern Israel!
Since yesterday, 40 of such rockets were fired at Israeli towns.
Israel will protect its citizens from the terrorists' indiscriminate rocket fire. #HRC43

It is outrageous that the @UNHumanRights Commissioner @mbachelet would release the database of companies operating in Israeli-controlled territories. Its publication confirms the unrelenting anti-#Israel bias so prevalent at the @UN.

The U.S. has not and will never provide any information to support the compilation of these lists. We call on @UN member states to join us in rejecting this effort. Attempts to isolate #Israel damage momentum toward Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

Meeting with ambassadors from African countries to Israel, I spoke about the UNCHR's list singling out Israeli companies. Boycotting Israeli companies does not advance peace or build confidence between the sides. We hope our friends will oppose this outrageous political decision.

Bad faith: @UNHumanRights did not send our Mission an advance copy of the "database" report for fact check, as is customary with such country specific reports.
We did not get a fair prior notice before publication either
Israel condemns the publication of the discriminatory so-called "database" of enterprises doing business in Israeli settlements.

Foreign Minister @Israel_katz:
The @UN_HRC Commissioner's announcement regarding the publication of a "blacklist" of companies represents the ultimate surrender to pressure exerted by countries and organizations interested in harming Israel.

Although we do not promote private businesses here in this house, when Israeli businesses are under the threat of boycott, we will stand with them. Boycotting Israeli companies does not advance the cause of peace and does not build confidence between the sides.
Israel calls on all companies not to submit to these boycott measures, but rather, to join the hundreds of Israeli and international companies who operate in Israel, with full respect for the norms of corporate social responsibility and human rights.
With the publication of this list, the High Commissioner has lost all credibility or ability to promote human rights in our region. The publication of the list will lead to severe consequences for the relations between Israel and OHCHR.
The High Commissioner succumbed to pressures to publish this defamatory blacklist, and has turned her office into an instrument of those pursuing a discriminatory and politically motivated agenda, becoming an accomplice of the BDS movement.
Israel condemns the publication of the discriminatory so-called "database" of enterprises doing business in Israeli settlements.
