Palestinians should be voting in Palestinian Authority elections. But yet again Mahmoud Abbas has postponed them.
No elections since 2006.
Elections were one of the reform promises made by Mahmoud Abbas and the PA to Western governments.
Mahmoud Abbas and the PA:
20 years without elections.
20 years without accountability.
20 years of broken promises.

It was an honor to host Minister @gidonsaar at Czech National Day reception in Jerusalem 🇨🇿🇮🇱

Thank you @orenbarsky for the clear graph, which leaves no doubt regarding António Guterres's anti-Israel obsession.
Under his leadership, the UN has not only unjustly harmed Israelis, but has also ignored the suffering and atrocities committed against women and children in Iran, Sudan, Yemen, and many other places.
António Guterres has damaged the standing of the UN.
We all deserve an honorable Secretary-General and a UN that fulfills the principles upon which it was founded.

🇮🇱 As Israel heads to elections this week, we are reminded that our strength lies in our diversity.
Proud of my colleague Sahar for her statement at the @UN.
Inclusion, equal rights & political participation are essential to building resilient, peaceful societies.

Hamas is promoting a narrative of "starvation engineering" on social media. This is not what starvation looks like. Stop spreading the lies of a terrorist organization. See for yourselves the abundance of food in the Gaza Strip, as documented on social media.
Arab citizens of Israel voted 10 times in parliamentary elections since 2006.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority has denied Palestinians the right to vote for 20 years.
Yet there’s no outrage. No headlines. Just silence.

In Israel, women, peace and security are not just words. They are the mothers who lost sons on October 7 and chose to run for the Knesset. They are brave women who served as Nahal Oz observers and the women diplomats working to bring hope to the people of Israel & Lebanon 🇮🇱 ♀️🕊️
On October 7, Hamas slaughtered, raped and kidnapped Israelis.
And yet @FranceskAlbs argues that Israel cannot invoke the right to defend itself and its people.
Even after October 7. Even after everything Hamas did.
Someone pushing this agenda has no business holding a @UN human rights mandate.
Albanese must go.

It’s always good to speak with my friend, Germany’s Foreign minister @AussenMinDE. 🇩🇪🇮🇱
I updated my counterpart on the elections in Israel, the impressive voter turnout and the emerging results.
The elections are a particularly impressive demonstration of the strength and vibrancy of Israeli democracy, the only one in the Middle East.
We also discussed developments in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine.
She survived the nightmare of her brother being held hostage by Hamas.
Now Emuna Schreiber is hospitalized after being injured in a Palestinian stone-throwing attack in Samaria.
Yet another example of the ongoing wave of Palestinian violence targeting Israelis.

Emuna Schreiber, the sister of released hostage Avinatan Or, sustained moderate injuries in a car accident near Rehelim Junction in Samaria two days ago, after her vehicle veered off the road as she tried to escape Arabs throwing stones at it.
Schreiber is hospitalized at Beilinson Hospital with spinal fractures and severe injuries. Her family said her life is not in danger and she does not require surgery.

The Holocaust showed us exactly what happens when Jews are left defenseless.
@FranceskAlbs wants to deny Israel the right to defend itself and protect its people.
We know all too well where Jewish defenselessness leads. We will never let that happen again.
Someone pushing this agenda has no business holding a @UN human rights mandate.
Albanese must go.

Seguimos con profunda preocupación las noticias sobre el trágico accidente ferroviario en Toledo.
Nuestra solidaridad y nuestras más sinceras condolencias a las víctimas y sus familias en estos momentos tan difíciles.
En estos momentos tan duros nos unimos al dolor de los españoles.

The UN harbors a moral fugitive who spews hatred for America, the West, Jews, and Israel. Francesca Albanese is institutional poison, doing grave damage to the UN, and tarnishing the work of brave UN personnel who risk their lives to feed the starving and keep the peace.
I know it. You know it. All that remains is to do something about it. Start by saying publicly what you say privately: Albanese must go. @AmbUNReform
The strength of Israeli democracy lies in its people.
Yesterday, Israel recorded its highest voter turnout since 1999, with 77.7% casting their ballots. 🇮🇱🗳️

We are deeply disturbed and shocked by the terrorist attack on the Embassy of Israel that took place overnight. We strongly condemn it. Terrorism knows no borders. It poses a direct threat to security and peace around the world.
Following the incident, I spoke with the Minister of the Interior in a technical mandate, who assured me that the attack would be thoroughly investigated.
This is already the second attack on the Embassy of Israel in the past two years. We call for a swift and thorough investigation to discover who is behind this act and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
We express our profound respect and deepest gratitude to the member of the Serbian Gendarmerie. His courage and decisive response prevented even more serious consequences and potentially greater bloodshed. We wish him a swift and full recovery.
We confirm that all Embassy staff are safe and well.

For centuries, Jews were singled out, demonized, and held to standards demanded of no one else. Today, Israel has become the Jew among nations at the United Nations.
Israel is entitled to the same standards of justice as every other nation—no more and no less.
Antisemitism does not become acceptable because it is stamped with the seal of the UN. This so-called Commission of Inquiry is a biased, illegitimate inquisition. We reject it. @AmbUNReform

Apparently, your lies and lunatic statements know no borders, even when you can no longer cross them yourself.
We used to endure your lies in the UN halls in New York. After your U.S. visa was revoked, yesterday we had to hear them over Zoom.
And we’re not the only ones fed up. Many here at the UN are tired of the hatred and incitement you spread.
History remembers those who chose to stand with murderers and rapists.
