If you haven’t seen something heartwarming today, watch this 🥹❤️ UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed shares a sweet moment with Captain Smit Machchhar of flydubai flight FZ1073, joking about a jiu-jitsu session once he recovers. Such a beautiful display of kindness and humanity. 🤍🇦🇪

Good News: Francesca Albanese has been sued for defamation by Israeli actress Sarai Givaty after the U.N. rapporteur distorted her comments and compared them to that of the Nazis. Albanese’s lies and disinformation are now coming with a price. ynetnews.com/article/r1zlxmd…

Today, Israel votes. Iran is watching. Hamas is watching. Hezbollah is watching. And the world is watching something rather beautiful: after the genocide of October 7, Israelis return not to bullets, but to ballots. This is Israel’s first national election since the Hamas Muslim Brotherhood terrorist attack of October 7, 2023. Jews. Muslims. Arabs. Christians. Druze. Baháʼís. Atheists. Different prayers. Different histories. Different politics. One ballot box. They will argue. Of course they will. They are Israelis. Arguing could practically qualify as a national sport. But today, they choose. Whatever the Israeli people decide, respect it. It is their country, their democracy, and their choice. Democracy is not: I respect the people only when they elect my side. Democracy is accepting that your neighbour’s ballot weighs exactly as much as yours, even when you hate what they wrote on it. After October 7, Hamas tried to write Israel’s future with blood. Today, Israelis write it with a pen. That difference is everything. May Israelis choose their future freely. And may the West have the maturity to respect what they choose.

Israel offers its profound condolences to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as the families of the victims, following the tragic terrorist attack at a church in Karak. Targeting a place of worship and murdering innocent believers constitutes a severe assault on freedom of religion. We wish a full and speedy recovery to the wounded and reiterate our solidarity with Jordan in the struggle against terrorism and extremism.

Meet a Palestinian woman listed as a civilian casualty in Gaza. Her name is Jameela Elshanti. See for yourself what kind of "civilian" she was:

We fixed it for you, @washingtonpost. The facts: Two Palestinian terrorists opened fire at a security checkpoint after realizing they wouldn't be able to reach their real attack target: a highway full of civilians. Two IDF soldiers were killed in the attack.

Proud and humbled to chair the Arolsen Archives International Commission under Israel’s presidency. For the nation-state of the Jewish people, preserving the memory of Nazi persecution and ensuring victims’ stories are never forgotten carries profound significance.

We mourn the loss of two IDF soldiers who fell during combat at the Judea Junction: 🕯️ Staff Sergeant Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, from Ashkelon, a squad commander. 🕯️ Sergeant Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, from Hod Hasharon, a combat soldier. Both served in the Ari Battalion (775), Search and Rescue Brigade. Our hearts are with their families and loved ones. May their memories be a blessing

The Palestinian terror attack this morning would have been an even worse catastrophic event had the @IDF not acted so quickly. Will the media give this as much coverage as when olive pickers get detained for failing to report their activities?
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: I have just concluded a security assessment with the Minister of Defense, the IDF Chief of Staff, the Director of the ISA, the National Security Advisor, and the Commander of the IDF Central Command. It appears that Hamas terrorists were planning a major attack aimed at murdering innocent civilians, as evidenced by the large quantities of weapons and ammunition discovered. Our brave soldiers thwarted this attack with courage and determination. I commend them for their actions and wish our wounded a speedy recovery. I have instructed the IDF and security forces to immediately cordon off the city of Hebron and take additional security measures to prevent terrorist attacks originating from Judea and Samaria. Our forces are operating with reinforcements to thwart terrorism and are carrying out extensive waves of arrests. We will pursue Hamas terrorists and those who sent them, wherever they are and at all times. You have nowhere to hide.

BREAKING: Brave UNRWA teacher in Gaza speaks out against the culture of death being cultivated in the schools. Teachers around her are “aggressively pushing” ideologies of killing and violence onto their students. (Source: @JusoorNews) Will @UNLazzarini be held to account?

🚨 EXPOSED: Pro-Palestinian Social Media Amplification Operation 🚨 An app called Batekh, also described as "Digital Defender," provides an entire arsenal of tools for influencing online discourse. According to its own app listings, it supplies curated pro-Palestinian content, ready-made responses users can copy and paste into online discussions, and tools for reporting content. Participants can even upload screenshots to confirm they've taken part. An elaborate digital influence operation hiding in plain sight. And wait, who's that appearing in the app's content-sharing section? Why, it's none other than New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, featured in a video calling for Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest.

People waving Israeli flags aren’t smashing people’s businesses and burning their cities in Europe. Just an observation.

Hamas's willingness to exploit Gazan civilians knows no bounds. An April 2024 document discovered by IDF troops revealed a Hamas plan to plant explosives in displaced persons camps in Gaza. Why? Because Hamas terrorists were hiding in the camps, and needed to create a smokescreen to flee as IDF troops approached. Hamas hides among Gazan civilians and is willing to kill them to protect its own operatives.

Every image tells the story of a home destroyed, a family shattered, and lives forever changed on October 7, 2023. Behind the burned walls and rubble are the lives and dreams of innocent families, brutally torn apart by Palestinian Hamas terrorists. These are the scars of October 7. We will never forget.🎗️ #UNFORGO7TEN 📷 @AlonSpiegel

In Hamas-run Gaza, a teacher who refuses to teach Palestinian children to hate Jews faces a chilling threat: have your tongue cut out. Under Hamas, teaching hatred is expected. Refusing to spread hatred puts your life at risk. Hamas is raising the next generation to hate Jews and perpetrate another October 7.
Gaza teacher says she was threatened for refusing to teach kids to hate Jews: 'We will cut your tongue' trib.al/EL9UK3y
