Independence Day Message from H.E. Reuven Azar Ambassador of the State of Israel to India and Non-Resident Ambassador to Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Happy 78 Independence Day to the people of Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰🇮🇱 On this special day, I extend my warmest greeting to all Sri Lankans at home and around the world. Independence is more than a moment in history. It is a living commitment to unity, resilience, and hope. Over the years, both Sri Lanka and Israel have overcome many challenges. This spirit of perseverance and determination is something that connects our nations and peoples and inspires us to keep moving forward. Israel deeply values its friendship with Sri Lanka. Our relationship is built on mutual respect, warm ties between our peoples, and growing cooperation in many fields. As you celebrate this important day, I wish Sri Lanka continued peace, prosperity, and success.

It is incredible that your statement fails to mention the word “Hamas”. It is Hamas that is responsible for the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis: it launched the October 7 invasion and massacre; prolonged the war by refusing to release the hostages for 2 years; embedded its operations within civilian areas in Gaza; and still refuses to disarm, blocking progress in the implementation of @POTUS plan.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking. The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

On the night of November 9, 1938, organized Nazi anti-Jewish violence swept across Germany and Austria. Known as Kristallnacht or Reichspogromnacht, this night of terror marked a turning point in the Nazi persecution of Jews, paving the way for the Holocaust; the systematic murder of six million Jews. Hundreds of Jews were murdered or died in the aftermath. Hundreds of synagogues were set ablaze. Thousands of Jewish homes and businesses were looted and destroyed. Some 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and deported to concentration camps. 88 years later, antisemitism is once again rearing its ugly head, especially since October 7, 2023. History must never be allowed to repeat itself. Never Again must mean Never Again.

पीढ़ियों से इथियोपियाई यहूदी यरूशलम लौटने की प्रार्थना करते आए हैं। 🇮🇱 कल, सिग्द के पवित्र त्योहार पर, जो प्रार्थना और उपवास का दिन था, वे यरूशलम में एकत्र हुए। वही प्रार्थनाएँ, वही आस्था और हर साल एक बार फिर इस बात का एहसास कि वे अपने घर लौट आए हैं। ❤️

A powerful message from Jerusalem! U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee addressed dozens of mayors and world leaders at a ceremony marking the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, opening the American Jewish Congress’s International Mayors Conference. “There are so many crazy things being said about Israel around the world that simply aren’t true,” Huckabee declared. He urged international leaders to visit Israel, see the reality firsthand, and challenge misinformation about the Jewish state. ජෙරුසලමෙන් පණිවිඩයක්! ඊශ්‍රායලයේ ඇමරිකානු තානාපති මයික් හකබි මහතා ක්‍රිස්ටල්නාට් සිදුවීමට වසර 88ක් සපිරීම නිමිත්තෙන් පැවති උත්සවයකදී, ඇමරිකානු යුදෙව් කොංග්‍රසයේ ජාත්‍යන්තර නගරාධිපති සමුළුව ආරම්භ කරමින්, නගරාධිපතිවරුන් සහ ලෝක නායකයන් අමතා විශේෂ ප්‍රකාශයක් සිදු කළේය. “ඊශ්‍රායලය ගැන ලෝකය පුරා අසත්‍ය කරුණු, විසුළු සහගත තරමේ සාවද්‍ය මත පැතිරවීමට යම් කණ්ඩායම් කටයුතු කරනවා,” හකබි ප්‍රකාශ කළේය. ඔහු ජාත්‍යන්තර නායකයන්ගෙන් ඉල්ලා සිටියේ ඊශ්‍රායලයට පැමිණ, යථාර්ථය සියැසින් දැක, යුදෙව් රාජ්‍යය ගැන පැතිරෙන වැරදි තොරතුරු වලට අභියෝග කරන ලෙසයි. ஜெருசலேமில் இருந்து ஒரு சக்திவாய்ந்த செய்தி! அமெரிக்க தூதர் மைக் ஹக்கபி, கிறிஸ்டல்நாட் சம்பவத்தின் 88வது ஆண்டு நினைவு விழாவில், அமெரிக்க யூத காங்கிரஸின் சர்வதேச மேயர்கள் மாநாட்டை தொடங்கி வைத்து, டஜன் கணக்கான மேயர்கள் மற்றும் உலகத் தலைவர்களிடம் உரையாற்றினார். “இஸ்ரேல் பற்றி உலகம் முழுவதும் கூறப்படும் பல பைத்தியக்காரத்தனமான விஷயங்கள் வெறுமனே உண்மை இல்லை,” என்று ஹக்கபி கூறினார். அவர் சர்வதேச தலைவர்களை இஸ்ரேலுக்கு வந்து, உண்மை நிலையை நேரடியாகப் பார்த்து, யூத அரசு பற்றிய தவறான தகவல்களை எதிர்க்குமாறு வலியுறுத்தினார்.

From paying tribute to the victims of October 7 at the Nova Festival memorial to performing for a sold-out crowd in Tel Aviv, British music icon @BoyGeorge brought a message of solidarity, love, and unity to Israel. His performance included “We Will Dance Again,” a song dedicated to the Nova victims, survivors, and their families. Thank you, Boy George, for standing with Israel and the Jewish people. 🇮🇱

What did Hamas spend millions building underground? Terror tunnels to attack Israelis. What should it have built? A modern drainage system to protect Gazans from flooding.

Today, we bow our heads alongside the people of the United Kingdom in remembrance of all those who gave their lives in service and sacrifice. We also remember the Jewish Infantry Brigade and the Jewish soldiers who bravely served in the First and Second World Wars. We salute their courage, remember their legacy, and stand united in gratitude and remembrance. Lest we forget 🇮🇱 🇬🇧

When women are given the opportunity to grow, they help entire communities flourish 💐🌸 40 women agriculture officers from across India came together for a special @MASHAVisrael workshop in Thally, Tamil Nadu. The workshop was honored by the presence of Israel’s Consul General in Bengaluru, @OrliWeitzman , as participants shared knowledge, built confidence, and strengthened their leadership in agriculture. Thank you to the Government of Tamil Nadu for making this initiative possible!

Can anyone explain this idiotic person’s bizarre obsession with recycling old-school antisemitic conspiracy theories? And what on earth is wrong with the Irish government? I know many Irish people, including diplomats. They are intelligent, decent and genuinely wonderful people. It’s a shame their political leadership seems so disconnected from those qualities. What a bizarre and disgraceful spectacle.
The Irish wheel of stupidity is spinning faster these days👇 Ireland’s minister for foreign affairs Helen McEntee: “Important meeting today with UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.” Francesca Albanese: “Raped by dogs trained in European countries. European people are profiting from selling dogs that will rape people.” Irish Senator Chris Andrews: “Thank you for your ongoing advocacy. It's inspiring.” @HMcEntee as Ireland currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Ireland should most definitely launch a full investigation into this. We need to know what European countries are training and exporting rape dogs to Israel ! Training and exporting rape dogs does not align with our European values.
