John Kelley, Acting U.S. Alternate Representative to the United Nations:
"The United States stands with Israel in unequivocally rejecting any effort to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state or impose conditions on Israel – which would be an unconscionable reward for the heinous Hamas attack on Israel that massacred and brutally kidnapped Israelis and Americans."
Deputy Permanent Representative Ambassador Jonathan Miller addressed the Security Council today as he underscored Israel’s unwavering commitment to protecting civilian life, even as Hamas exploits hospitals as operational terror hubs, blatantly disregarding the safety of medical staff and patients and in violation of international law.
An important accomplishment yesterday (November 22) for @IsraelinUN : Israel’s resolution “Entrepreneurship For Sustainable Development” passed with an impressive majority of 136 votes in favor.
This success is particularly significant in times when anti-Israeli elements attempt to isolate Israel and undermine its legitimacy in international forums.
Israel will continue to contribute to the world and strive to make it a better place.
New York City is home to the largest Jewish community outside of Israel, and it's just as diverse as our city as a whole. It's never been more important for all to come together to protect Jewish New Yorkers and their rich faith.
Israel's sovereignty and security must be respected. UNGA'S decision disregards these fundamental rights, fueling tensions rather than promoting peace. #IsraelDeservesRespect#UNGA79
Watch our Deputy Permanent Representative, Ambassador Jonathan Miller, speak at the UN Security Council. He highlighted that the decision to include Israel in the Annex of the report - a blacklist of countries and entities that harm children during armed conflict, alongside terrorist organizations, is not only unjust and incomprehensible but counterproductive for the purposes of the report and our mutual efforts to protect children. This decision effectively rewards Hamas for its atrocities by condemning a democratic nation fighting against a terrorist organization to protect its citizens, including children. The report overlooks Hamas's systematic use of civilians, including children, as human shields. Israel goes to great lengths to protect civilians and minimize harm, while Hamas exploits civilian infrastructure for military purposes. Ambassador Miller urged the UN to hold Hamas accountable, support Israel's right to defend its children and call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. This is a wake up call. Do not turn a blind eye to terror. Do not become indifferent to the horrors of October 7th.
Thrilled to kick off the new UN Group of Friends on AI & Sustainable Development! Huge thanks to 🇺🇸 & 🇲🇦 for hosting today’s launch. 🇮🇱 is eager to collaborate and innovate with all partners. Let’s drive progress together! #TechForGood#AIforSDGs 🌍🤖 @IsraelinUN
Watch our Deputy Permanent Representative, Ambassador Jonathan Miller, speak at the UN Security Council on the ongoing situation in Rafah. Israel’s precise strike last Sunday took place two kilometers from the designated humanitarian zone and targeted senior Hamas terror officials responsible for atrocities. The tragedy that occurred is now being investigated. The Council must hold Hamas accountable for using civilians as human shields and storing munitions in civilian areas. Israel is committed to defending its citizens and returning our hostages while facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza.

According to Jewish tradition, on #YomKippur, (observed October 8-9), God inscribes each person's fate for the coming year.
We wish Jews in Israel & around the world "Gmar Chatima Tova" & a meaningful holiday. May you be sealed in the book of life.
