The Iranian regime, as always, is lying. Iran’s proxy, Hezbollah, is the one that attacked Israel again this morning, completely unprovoked. Hezbollah constantly fires at Israeli civilians. Even after the ceasefire, Hezbollah has not stopped targeting Israelis. It was Hezbollah that launched an unprovoked attack on Israel in March, acting under the orders of its Iranian masters. Israel will not tolerate firing at its territory.
تجاوز صهیونیست‌ها به ضاحیه باردیگر نشان داد آمریکا یا اراده‌ای برای اجرای تعهدات خود ندارد یا توان آن را. با چراغ سبز نشان دادن به رژیم نمی‌توانید امتیاز بگیرید. بازی پلیس بد و پلیس خوب قدیمی شده است. اگر اراده و توان اجرای تعهدات خود را ندارید، سخن گفتن از ادامه مسیر ممکن نیست.

Back to the Hezbollah “ceasefire” tracker - what did the last 48 hours look like? 💥 Over 50 rockets and killer drones fired at IDF troops. 💥 2 more barrages into Israeli territory, sending Israeli citizens to bomb shelters. 💥 Multiple encounters with Hezbollah terrorists moving back to the South Lebanon sector. This is not what ceasing fire looks like. As long as Hezbollah keeps attacking Israel, like any other country, we will defend ourselves.

This week, I had the privilege of meeting with the inspiring leadership of the wonderful Jewish communities of Des Moines and Omaha. These meaningful conversations were a reminder of the strength, dedication, and heart that define Jewish communities across the United States. I was deeply moved by the commitment of community leaders who work every day to strengthen Jewish identity, foster connection, and build a vibrant future for generations to come. The bond between Israel and Jewish communities around the world, and especially in the United States, is deep, enduring, and unbreakable. It is built on shared values, a common history, mutual responsibility, and a profound sense of belonging. At a time when connection matters more than ever, these encounters reinforce the importance of standing together, listening to one another, and continuing to nurture the unique partnership between Israel and the Jewish people everywhere. Grateful for the warmth, openness, and friendship I experienced, and looking forward to continuing to strengthen these bridges.

To our neighbors in Lebanon: Your country has been taken hostage by the Iranian terror regime and its proxy, Hezbollah, which have brought destruction, terror, and instability to Lebanon. Hezbollah serves the interests of the Iranian regime, putting its hegemonic ambitions ahead of Lebanon's future. Hezbollah is not only a threat to Israel, it is a threat to the safety, security, and prosperity of the Lebanese people. Lebanon's future belongs to the Lebanese people, not to Iran and its proxies. The people of Lebanon deserve the chance to build a thriving country, free from Hezbollah's grip.

Things to keep around your baby’s crib: ✅ Extra diapers ✅ Baby monitor ✅ Their favorite toy ❌ Weapons and ammunition This is life under Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese people deserve to have nurseries free of weapons, houses free of terror, and lives free of Iranian proxy armies.

We appreciate the concern of the distinguished governments about the humanitarian access in Gaza, despite the fact that the concerns and claims in the statement are completely unfounded and detached from reality. There are immense amounts of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip. Since the ceasefire, more than 1.6 million tons of food have entered the Gaza Strip, with an average of 600 humanitarian aid trucks entering the Strip each day. There are dozens of international aid organizations operating in the Strip that handle the aforementioned humanitarian aid. The registration process for these international organizations is designed to ensure that their activities are not exploited to promote terrorism, as was the case with UNRWA. In this regard, we refer governments to the USAID report published less than a week ago concerning more than 100 UNRWA employees found to have links to Hamas. The registration process for international organizations, including the need to ensure that their activities are not exploited for terrorism, was reviewed and approved by Israel's Supreme Court, whose independence democratic nations are expected to respect. 🔗oig.usaid.gov/node/8155

Israel firmly rejects the disgraceful measures adopted by foreign governments against Israeli citizens, entities, and a government minister. The real essence of these steps is the attempt to impose a political stance regarding the right of Jews to live in the Land of Israel and concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - camouflaged as measures against violence. What these governments have in common is their resounding failure to combat the antisemitism that is rampant in their own countries. Anti-Israeli policies of the kind adopted today only serve to fuel that antisemitism. Astonishingly, these governments have also failed to impose sanctions or take action against the phenomena that truly drive violence - the Palestinian Authority’s salaries for terrorists (“pay-for-slay”) policy and incitement.

Millions of Israelis have been forced into bomb shelters as the Iranian terror regime attacks Israel directly and through its terrorist proxies - Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthis in Yemen. These are civilians, families, children and elderly, trying to get through their day under the threat of missile attacks.

Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at Israel today. Each one of those missiles can level an entire neighborhood and kill hundreds. No self-respecting country in the world would tolerate such an attack, and neither will Israel. Israel is now targeting Iranian surface-to-surface missile launch sites, as well as infrastructure facilities unrelated to the energy sector. The people of Lebanon have rejected Iran’s proxy, Hizballah, and have told Iran to get out of their country. If Hizballah fires at Israel, its command centers in the Dahiya will be hit hard. This has nothing to do with Iran. Everyone has had enough of this maniacal Iranian regime.

Hamas generated roughly $500 million in revenue in one year from the diversion of humanitarian aid, the largest single source of income in Gaza. Read more in the #ModernBloodLibelBook

Today’s talks were another important step in the process to facilitate peace between Israel and Lebanon. But make no mistake: if Hezbollah thinks this outcome gives them immunity- they are wrong. This ceasefire is entirely contingent on a complete cessation of fire towards Israel, and the complete dismantling of Hezbollah and its terror infrastructure.

It was a pleasure meeting with Ambassador Reyna Torres Mendivil, the Consul General of @ConsulMexCho last week. Thank you for your friendship and warm hospitality. Chicago is home to a vibrant Mexican community, and I look forward to working together to strengthen ties between our communities, foster meaningful partnerships, and build bridges between our peoples and countries. Looking forward to advancing the friendship between Israel and Mexico here in the Midwest. 🇮🇱🇲🇽🇺🇸

For over two years, the UN laundered Hamas propaganda, manufactured fake aid statistics, and called it "authoritative data." Today, the curtain comes down. The systematic information manipulation machine operating under the UN is now exposed. See the evidence for yourself: 👇 govextra.gov.il/mda/un-agenc…

“We are not your enemy. You are going through a tragedy and I feel your pain, Israelis feel your pain, but we are not the cause of your pain.” In a message shared directly with the Lebanese people through @ThisIsBeirut_, Ambassador @yechielleiter addressed a difficult reality: the suffering experienced by both Israelis and Lebanese stems from the same source. For decades, Hezbollah has dragged Lebanon into conflict, undermined its future, and put civilians on both sides of the border in harm’s way. 🎥 @ThisIsBeirut_

Nebraska is home to a strong and proud Jewish community that has contributed mightily to the good life. 🇺🇸 Today, I signed an Executive Order to combat antisemitism and protect religious liberty in Nebraska by establishing statewide reporting, prevention, and educational requirements in our academic institutions. Simply, antisemitism is a scourge that has no place in American society. This action is another example of Nebraska’s ongoing commitment to support the Jewish people, defend religious liberty, and stand up to antisemitism and extremism. governor.nebraska.gov/gov-pi…

Thank you, Governor Pillen, for taking a strong stand against antisemitism in Nebraska’s public schools. This Executive Order sends a clear and important message about accountability, safety, and respect for Jewish students and communities across the state. Antisemitism has no place in our schools or in our society. We are grateful for your leadership and commitment to confronting antisemitic hate and ensuring that every student can learn in an environment free from discrimination and intimidation.
