Last week, CG @BennySharoni joined the Yale Innovation Summit in New Haven. Israel & Connecticut are both leading in innovation across aerospace, defense, biotech, medtech, financial services, & quantum. The Summit was an opportunity to further implement the Israel-Connecticut economic cooperation plan.

85 years ago, the Farhud pogrom shattered one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world.

In June 1941, mobs in Baghdad brutally attacked, murdered, assaulted, and looted Jews simply for being Jewish. The Farhud was not only a tragedy for Iraqi Jewry - it became a symbol of the persecution faced by Jewish communities across the Middle East.

Today, we remember the victims, honor the rich heritage of Iraqi Jews, and reaffirm the importance of standing against antisemitism, hatred, and incitement.

A beach. Families. Children. Then, a missile.

Hezbollah fired toward civilians in Nahariya, striking just meters from the shoreline. In seconds, a peaceful weekend became fear, chaos, and a fight to survive.

All while a ceasefire is supposedly in place. Hezbollah continues violating it day after day.

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: 👇

The mask is off.

While Hamas raped and murdered innocent civilians, UN officials manipulated minds by unleashing an information war that echoed Hamas propaganda.

What a night at @fenwaypark!

Consul General @BennySharoni was on the field for the @RedSox annual Jewish Heritage Celebration, and the Sox put on a show with a dominant 8-0 shutout.

Few things bring New England together like a night at Fenway, and we were proud to be part of it. 🇮🇱⚾️

Hezbollah is violating the ceasefire again and again, having killed 12 Israelis since the agreement - civilians and soldiers alike.

Since March 2nd, Hezbollah has fired more than 8,700 projectiles across the Israel-Lebanon border.

Israel will take any action necessary to protect its citizens from Hezbollah attacks and to dismantle the terror kingdom Hezbollah has built in Lebanon.

Instead of dismantling Hezbollah - the Iranian terror army operating on its soil - Lebanon is allowing itself to be dragged deeper into chaos.

Israel has no territorial claims in Lebanon.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

🧵Hezbollah was founded in 1982 by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as part of the Iranian regime’s effort to build jihadi proxy forces across the Middle East.

From the start, Hezbollah’s loyalty was to the Iranian Regime not Lebanon. (1/6)

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

The UN Human Rights Council’s rapporteur system has gone bankrupt. While the public is already familiar with the antisemitic rapporteur Albanese, the @UNWatch report exposes the truth: the emperor has no clothes. These UN rapporteurs, who are supposed to be professional and impartial, instead protect the hand that feeds them while ignoring real human rights abuses.

The Council and the High Commissioner - always quick to preach and condemn Israel - are the very ones enabling this corrupt mechanism.

I stopped by the legendary @Michaels_Deli in Brookline for a much-needed bite and to stand with owner Steven Peljovich. His business has been vandalized nearly 40 times since 2023, all because of a sign outside reading “Proudly Jewish” and an Israeli flag displayed inside. He is not a man who is easily deterred. Neither is his knish.

Steven, your food is outstanding, but your resolve is even better.

The @BIRDFoundation1 just approved $7.5M in grants for 7 new joint R&D projects, including 1 right here in New England: Boston’s @AYANA_BIO & Israel’s Brevel are teaming up to develop scalable plant cell cultivation technology for the production of plant-based bioactive ingredients. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

This is not the first time. Just last month, a man in a Hitler costume performed Nazi salutes targeting Jewish & Israeli runners as they passed, & stomped on the Israeli flag along the Boston Marathon route. Now it is happening again, in front of New England’s busiest train station.

Dressing as the leader of a regime that murdered 6 million Jews & stomping on the flag of Israel, home to half the world’s Jews, is open Jew-hatred meant to intimidate. This individual must be held accountable. There must be no tolerance for such behavior, & it must be condemned without reservation.

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who, for 250 years, have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. Israel stands with our American friends in paying tribute to these heroes. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

May their memory be a blessing.
