Consider this your regularly scheduled reminder that 🇮🇱 isn’t going anywhere.
Time passes, but October 7 will never fade from our memory.
After surviving 738 days in Hamas captivity, Evyatar David, abducted from the Nova Music Festival, is reclaiming the life Hamas tried to steal from him.
His message is one of extraordinary strength and resilience:
“I will continue to dance.”
Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱❤️

Where faith meets history. 🇮🇱
From the shores of the Sea of Galilee to the ancient streets of Jerusalem, the Holy Land has shaped the spiritual lives of generations.
This week, the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest is bringing a delegation of emerging Christian faith leaders from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana to Israel to experience that heritage firsthand.
Through encounters with sacred sites, biblical history, and the people of modern Israel, these young leaders will have the opportunity to deepen their connection to scripture, enrich their ministries, and explore the shared heritage that continues to unite our communities.
A special thank you to Pastor @beckykeenan7 of @onewithisrael for her assistance in coordinating this pilgrimage!
We’re excited to share their journey with you. Stay tuned! – at Israel
Israeli quantum tech just landed a $2.3 BILLION deal.

The strength of Israeli democracy lies in its people.
Yesterday, Israel recorded its highest voter turnout since 1999, with 77.7% casting their ballots. 🇮🇱🗳️

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.

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.

How does democracy work in Israel?
Every vote plays a part in shaping the Knesset, Israel's 120-member parliament.
Here's a closer look at Israel's electoral system, from the ballot box to the distribution
of seats. 🇮🇱
🇮🇱🗳️ Israel’s 26th Knesset elections by the numbers:
From hundreds of millions of ballot slips to free public transport on Election Day, today is shaping up to be one of Israel’s biggest-ever elections!

Fun fact: Election Day in Israel is a paid day off. 🇮🇱
First, we vote. Then we beach. 🏖️

Iran’s links to the anti-Israel protest movement are hardly surprising, and this report highlights just how dangerous they are.
The Telegraph reveals that a leading activist had contact with individuals later sanctioned over ties to Iran.
The question is no longer just who is leading these protests, but who may be manipulating them behind the scenes.
The leader of an activist group behind pro-Palestine protests in the UK met with two individuals later sanctioned over their links to Iran, The Telegraph can reveal.
In 2014, Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of anti-war organisation Code Pink, was in contact with men later identified by US officials as facilitators for the Islamic Republic’s foreign intelligence⤵️

What a night! 🇮🇱
An incredible show of support for Israel at the 46th Annual Night to Honor Israel at @SACornerstone Church in San Antonio!
As Consul General @Adi_Farjon Israel shared in her remarks, “Our greatest hope is for peace. Peace for our children, peace for our neighbors.”
Thank you to Pastors @PastorJohnHagee and Mike Hagee, and the entire Cornerstone Church community for standing with Israel and the Jewish people!
Thank you to the @Jewish_Dallas for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality during our visit to Dallas!

How does 🇮🇱 democracy work?
In Israel, every citizen aged 18 and over has the right to vote.
Each vote determines which party a voter supports. The results determine how the 120 Knesset seats are distributed, which parties enter parliament, and who can form a government.
A 3.25% electoral threshold. A parliamentary majority of 61 seats.
🇮🇱🇺🇸 250 technology leaders. 50 states. One Startup Nation.
