Israeli players may not be on the pitch, but Israeli innovation will be part of the game. From AI-generated highlights to real-time sports data and ticketing platforms, Israeli companies are helping power the world’s biggest sporting events. ynetnews.com/tech-and-digita…

UNRWA's statement on the termination of 70 employees, while blaming the victim, Israel, and without even mentioning the word "Hamas", is a cynical cover-up. The responsibility to purge terrorism lies solely with the UN, yet Hamas membership remains simply acceptable within UNRWA's ranks. By harboring terrorists and letting its facilities serve as Hamas headquarters, @UNRWA has become an arm of Hamas.

Happy birthday Mr. President, Happy birthday @realDonaldTrump. This year your birthday comes at an auspicious time. America celebrates 250 years of freedom - a great nation built on liberty and faith. I wish you continued strength and vigor as you lead America towards a bright future of peace through strength, and as we continue to bring the U.S. - Israel alliance to ever greater heights.

Happy 80th birthday, President @realDonaldTrump! Your remarkable journey to the White House represents the breadth of the American dream and the power of your own resolve. The people of Israel are grateful for your leadership in confronting Iran’s empire of evil and for your steadfast commitment to the security of Israel. We will never forget your tireless efforts in securing the release of our beloved hostages. May you lead the Middle East and the world toward peace and security and continue to strengthen the unique U.S.-Israel partnership. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 In Jewish tradition, it is stated that at the age of eighty you gain unique prowess. May you enjoy your beautiful family and many happy birthdays with blessings and joy. Mazal tov!

לשר הפנים הטורקי שמאיים וחולם למשול בירושלים - אומר כך: ירושלים היא לא קונסטנטינופול ומדינת ישראל איננה האימפריה הצלבנית המתפוררת, אלא מדינה חזקה ונחושה שהוכיחה את יכולתה להגן על עצמה מול כל איום. ירושלים היא בירת העם היהודי מזה 3,000 שנה ותוסיף להיות בירת ישראל לנצח, בעוד שהאימפריה העות'מנית שעליה אתה וארדואן חולמים קרסה ולא תשוב לעולם. חבל שלא למדתם כלום ממורשת אטאטורק שפעל להפוך את טורקיה למדינת מודרנית, ופועלים להחזיר את טורקיה לעידן החושך והנחשלות. @RTErdogan @mustafaciftcitr @kilicdarogluk @ekrem_imamoglu @mansuryavas06

'This Is Our Finest Hour': Israeli Ambassador Reuven Azar Celebrates Deepening Ties With India ndtv.com/world-news/this-is-…

Israel welcomes the joint statement by 22 nations exposing the Iranian regime’s lethal plotting and terrorist activities from Europe to Australia to North America. The Iranian regime spreads terror and violence wherever it can. This is its core nature and essence. It is the number one threat to global security and world order, and the international community must confront this threat together.

I commend Slovenian PM @JJansaSDS for his swift and just decision to lift the distorted anti-Israeli measures taken by Slovenia’s previous government. PM Janša is a bold leader and a true friend of Israel. We will do great things together! 🇮🇱🇸🇮 n1info.si/novice/slovenija/j…

The Consulate General of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada is deeply saddened by the death of Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty. Constable Pinizzotto made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the people of Toronto and the safety of the communities he was sworn to protect. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and fellow officers during this difficult time. The men and women of law enforcement who confront violence and danger on behalf of the public deserve our respect, gratitude, and support. Today, we join Toronto in honouring Constable Pinizzotto's service and sacrifice. May his memory be a blessing.
