As @UN_HRC marks its 20th anniversary, it is worth recalling that for two decades the Council has disproportionately targeted Israel while many of the world's worst human rights abusers evade scrutiny or are welcomed as guests of honor. Not a milestone but a mandate betrayed.

France is blocking Israeli defense companies - because Israeli companies are better, and France is afraid they will be chosen over French companies. Just a few weeks ago, the French Prime Minister @SebLecornu admitted that Israel is one of the biggest competitors of the French defense industry. This, of course, will not help France. The world will continue to buy Israeli defense products from Israeli companies - simply because they are better.

Today, the reinstated Commission of Inquiry makes its debut. This Commission’s bias is established in its unchecked and unbounded mandate. It cannot be undone by nominating two new members. Despite the lip service the new report pays to Hamas crimes against Palestinians, it is already evident that this membership follows in the steps of its predecessors. This mandate simply cannot uphold the principles of independence and impartiality. The resignation of the previous members in July 2025 should have marked the end of this dark chapter. Instead, the COI was reinstated without pause for review.

Before 1967, Egypt occupied Gaza. There were terror attacks toward Israel. From 1967 until 2005, Israel controlled the enclave. There were terror attacks against Israelis. When it withdrew unilaterally in 2005, there were no Jews left in Gaza. Terrorists still launched attacks. Palestinian terrorism from Gaza did not begin with Israel’s control, and it did not end with Israel’s withdrawal. Violence has never been a result of occupation; it has always been about ending the only Jewish nation.

Ancient marble statues dating back 1,700 years were uncovered and restored near Binyamina during excavations for Israel’s new high-speed railway. Beneath modern Israel lies a history stretching back thousands of years. 🇮🇱 📸: @antiquitiesIL

The OECD forecasts Israel's economy will grow by 3.3% in 2026 and 5.6% in 2027. The Financial Times calls Israel a "trampoline economy." We call it Israeli resilience.

Honored to host my dear friend President @Abdirahmanirro at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during his historic State Visit to open Somaliland’s embassy in Jerusalem. I’m proud of the privilege I had to write the first pages in the story of the Israel-Somaliland relationship. This friendship exists not only between governments, but also in the hearts of our peoples. We’ll continue strengthening it for the benefit of both countries!

A UN Special Rapporteur says there was a "concerted effort" inside the UN to prevent allegations from October 7 being formally recorded and that colleagues were bullied into not signing a letter documenting the atrocities. When the world's leading human rights institution cannot honestly document the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, it has a credibility problem.

Hezbollah attacks. Iran backs it. Israel defends itself. And Guterres still can’t say the word “Hezbollah” or condemn Iran. Leaving out the aggressors doesn't calm conflict. It rewards them and inflames it. Shame on you, Guterres.
I strongly condemn today's Israeli strikes on Beirut. The strikes took place despite the ceasefire & at a time when the US & Iran are expected to reach an agreement that will pave the way to a peaceful resolution of this conflict. This conflict is having a devastating impact on the world's economy. I urge all parties to show maximum restraint at this crucial moment & I strongly hope for a successful outcome of the ongoing efforts by the US & Iran.

The Palestinian Authority’s commitments were clear. Their violations were obvious. Yet European taxpayer money still flows to terrorists through Palestinian Authority funding.

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.
