Recently, false and misleading information has been circulated by unauthorized individuals. These individuals do not represent the Kurdish community in Israel which has official and recognized institutions that have been operating for many years regarding relations between Israel and the Kurdish people and I emphasize that they have no connection whatsoever to the official media platforms of the community.
It must be stated unequivocally that these unauthorized individuals do not represent the Government of Israel or any official body within the Israeli administration. They have no connection to the Government or to the Knesset of Israel, and it is unclear on what sources they base their claims.
The sole and official representation of the Kurdish community in Israel on the international stage is the President of the Kurdish Community in Israel and those authorized on his behalf. No other individual or entity is authorized to represent the community on these matters in social media or in any form of public communication.
Every individual has the right to express personal views but only in their own name, and not on behalf of the Kurdish community in Israel, which has official institutions and an elected leadership.
The Kurdish and Israeli peoples have built, continue to build, and will continue to strengthen working relations and cooperation over many years. Both peoples support one another wherever and whenever possible. The relations between the Kurdish community in Israel, its leadership and its President, and Kurdish and other partners, are strong and longstanding — dating back to the days of the great leader Mullah Mustafa Barzani.
These ties are largely public and are not a secret matter.
Israel views the Kurds in Rojava, across the Middle East, and throughout the diaspora as natural and strategic friends and allies. Israel understands and recognizes that the majority of the Kurdish people view Israel and the Jewish people in the same spirit. These relations are mutual, and we are confident that this unique bond will continue to grow stronger in the future.
The President of the community has worked and continues to work extensively to strengthen relations and to advance Israeli governmental support for the leadership in Rojava–Syria. The diplomatic efforts undertaken have led to meaningful achievements that speak for themselves.
Official publications regarding the President’s extensive diplomatic activity in Israel, the United States, and Europe, as well as the broad activities of the Kurdish community in Israel, are regularly published through the official channels.
