[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

As a grandchild of survivors of the #ArmenianGenocide, as an Israeli citizen and diplomat, and after years of advocacy, I am proud that #Israel has finally recognized the Armenian Genocide. A long-overdue step for truth and historical justice.

Thank you @gidonsaar.

🇦🇲🇮🇱

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

It's never too late to do the right thing.

I thank @IsraeliPM Netanyahu for his support, and the government ministers for their unanimous approval of the resolution I initiated for Israel's recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

Thus, Israel joins 32 countries that have fulfilled a moral duty by recognizing the historical truth, and rejecting attempts to deny it.

[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

Recognition of the #ArmenianGenocide is indeed a moral and historical duty of the State of #Israel and every other nation in the world.

As an Israeli-Armenian, a grandchild of survivors of that Genocide, I salute you @gidonsaar for this noble and principled act.

🇦🇲🇮🇱

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

I will bring before the Israeli government at its next meeting a proposed resolution for the official recognition by the Government of Israel of the Armenian Genocide.

Recognizing the genocide perpetrated against the Armenian people in the final years of the Ottoman Empire is both a moral and historical duty.
We must also firmly condemn any denial, minimization, or distortion of the historical truth.

The resolution will subsequently be brought before the Knesset for a vote.

[Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער @gidonsaar]

We congratulate the PM of Armenia @NikolPashinyan and the Civil Contract Party on the victory in the Armenian parliamentary elections.

PM Pashinyan has demonstrated leadership by advancing his country towards peace and reconciliation with Azerbaijan, which will promote regional stability and cooperation.

Last night, words became bullets.

Yaron and Sarah, staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., were murdered by a terrorist outside a Jewish museum.

Their killer shouted “Free Palestine.”

Since October 7, chants turned to threats. Threats turned to violence.

This didn’t start last night. But it has to stop now.

[Albanian MEFA 🇦🇱 @AlbanianDiplo]

Deeply outraged by the horrific killing of two staff members from the Embassy of Israel in Washington, DC.

We extend our deepest condolences to their families and all who are mourning this senseless loss.

There must be NO PLACE for hatred and antisemitic acts!

On the eve of the #HolocaustRememberenceDay we had the honor to host Efrat Altaraz, the author of the book “Macedonian Sun”, that tells the story of the last survivor of the Jewish community of Stip, #NorthernMacedonia, who found refuge in an #Albanian family in #Kosovo.

Tonight, the embassy of #Israel in #Albania was illuminated in orange in memory of the murdered children of the Bibas family, Ariel and Kfir, and of all the victims of #Hamas terrorism.

🧡🇮🇱

[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

Kfir and Ariel Bibas 🧡

Two baby brothers brutally murdered by Hamas, who will live forever in the heart of an entire nation. 🇮🇱

Rest in eternal peace 🪽

[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

It is not over till everyone is back home in #Israel 🎗️

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

Yarden Bibas is finally home but his wife Shiri and their children Kfir and Ariel are not with him.

They were kidnapped by Hamas 484 days ago. Since then, there has been no sign of them. No word. No trace.

There are no words to describe this reality.

[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

One triumphant smile in a sea of losers!

Today we marked the International #Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps.

From Tirana, #Albania, we renewed our pledge to continue our combat against #antisemitism in all its forms.

#NeverAgain is now!

The wait is finally over.
The girls are home.
No one will be left behind.

Meet, Yuval Raphael, #Israel’s representative to the 69th edition of #Eurovision.

Yuval, miraculously survived the Nova Festival Massacre perpetrated by #Hamas, only to win the hearts of Israelis and soon that of Europe!

She is the embodiment of Israeli resilience!

[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

Great news! 🇦🇱🤝🏻🇮🇱

[Edi Rama @ediramaal]

This is wonderful news for strengthening further the ties between Israel and Albania! Direct flights not only make travel more convenient but also open doors for cultural exchange, tourism, and business opportunities. The historical bond between the two nations, including Albania’s heroic role in sheltering Jews during World War II, is a foundation for a deeper connection.

Encouraging Israelis to explore Albania’s breathtaking landscapes, vibrant traditions, and growing economy will undoubtedly foster stronger friendships and partnerships. A shared future of collaboration and mutual respect can lead to incredible opportunities for both countries. Here’s to many unforgettable memories and a flourishing friendship 🇦🇱🤝🇮🇱

Grateful to an exceptional man, an inspiring leader, and my dear friend @Isaac_Herzog for bringing with him to Albania an outstanding group of Israeli entrepreneurs and for his encouraging words to the Jewish business community, urging them to see Albania as a brotherly land of opportunities. 🙏

[Harout Baghamian @HBaghamian]

@Jerusalem_Post What a joke of an article 💵😂

[Igli Hasani @IgliHasani]

Today marks one year since the tragic October 7th Hamas terror attack on Israel.

Albania stands firm in its call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. We extend our deepest condolences to the victims' families and our unwavering support to those still in captivity and their loved ones 🎗️.

We urge all parties to work towards a comprehensive solution that ensures lasting peace and stability in the region.
