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

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: 👇

“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.

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.

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.

Today we join the American people in honoring the heroes who gave everything to defend liberty and democracy. Their selflessness is a beacon of courage for us all. On this Memorial Day, and every day, we remember and salute their sacrifice. May their memory be a blessing. 🇺🇸

As Shavuot begins, we celebrate the giving of the Torah, the harvest season, and the traditions that bring people together. Chag Shavuot Sameach! 🌾✨

Today, we remember Sarah Lynn Milgrim z”l and Yaron Lischinsky z”l, who were murdered one year ago outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.

Sarah and Yaron dedicated their lives to Israel, the Jewish people, and building bridges between communities. One year later, we honor their memory and the light they brought into the world.

May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️

[Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter @yechielleiter]

I condemn in the strongest terms Minister Mai Golan’s verbal attack on MK Gilad Kariv and on Reform Judaism in general. As an Orthodox Jew and as Israel’s representative to the United States I find her words disgusting and reprehensible, worthy of excoriation and rebuke. Theological, political, and ideological differences are fine, even necessary for a healthy people. But there is a line that cannot be crossed, it is a line that divides debate from hate and separates altruism from populism. Too many are crossing the line. Mai Golan’s statement is one of them. I will visit with leaders of the Reform movement soon, in person, to apologize on Israel’s behalf.

🌈 #IDAHOBIT is a reminder that too many #LGBTIQ persons around the world still face hatred, discrimination & violence simply for being who they are.

To the Nakba glorifiers:

The Nakba was the result of the Arab rejection of the UN Partition Plan & decision to launch war to annihilate the State of Israel.

You can't start war, openly vow to “throw the Jews into the sea,” and then pretend being the victim of the conflict you started.

The real forgotten victims are the 850,000 Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries at the same time.

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

Nakba Day - on May 14, 1948 Israel declared its independence.

A coalition of five Arab nations including Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq immediately declared war and invaded Israel.

Israel won the war.

The Arab nations created a day to commemorate the embarrassing loss. #Nakba78

[Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter @yechielleiter]

Concluding 2 days of negotiations with Lebanese and American officials, I’m looking forward to the next steps.

The peace talks were frank and constructive, and are set to move forward on two tracks: security and political.

There will be ups and downs, but the potential for success is great. What will be paramount throughout negotiations is the security of our citizens and our soldiers.
