Israel remains committed to the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel, Lebanon and the US.
If Hezbollah does not violate the agreement, it will be kept.
Under all circumstances, Israel retains its right to respond to attacks against it and to thwart threats to its territory, citizens and soldiers.

“The Truth About Hamas” is difficult to read, and impossible to ignore.
“Every night I wake to it and apologize to her,” says Nova survivor Yoni Saadon, who hid beneath the body of a murdered woman to stay alive.
The Wall Street Journal displays the Civil Commission’s report - testimonies, forensic evidences and hostages accounts, that the world must neither forget nor deny.

After more than two years of independent investigation, the Civil Commission has released a comprehensive report documenting sexual and gender-based violence committed by Hamas on October 7 and during hostage captivity.
The report is not only a historical record — it is a call for recognition, accountability, and justice.
Please read and share:

Months ago, the Civil Commission approached the New York Times with a report on Hamas’ systematic sexual violence on Oct. 7 and after. The @nytimes said it was not interested.
This comprehensive and well-documented report was published this morning by CNN and other international outlets.
Aware of the report and its release date, the night before its release the NYT ran a shameful attack on Israel, belittling Hamas’ sexual crimes.
That tells you everything about the NYT's agenda.
Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press.
In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused.
Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party.
This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist.
Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.
The Consulate General of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada is appalled by the two antisemitic pellet gun attacks targeting visibly Jewish residents in North York on the night of May 7.
One shooting took place near the Pride of Israel synagogue, another occurred near the Chasdei Bobov synagogue.
Individuals were targeted outside these Toronto synagogues for one reason alone: they visibly belonged to the Jewish community.
This is another link in a growing chain of antisemitic violence, intimidation, and incitement targeting the Jewish community in Canada since October 7.
When Jews are repeatedly attacked in the same neighborhoods, on the same streets, by perpetrators who appear increasingly emboldened, a dangerous reality begins to take shape: an open season on Jews in Canada.
We commend the Toronto Police Service for treating these incidents with the seriousness they deserve and for investigating them as suspected hate crimes.
Canadian authorities must respond with urgency, determination, and zero tolerance toward the escalating antisemitic violence unfolding across the country.
From the Startup Nation to the Scale up State!
Insightful report on the huge potential of the economic ties between Texas and Israel.

As published by the Board of Peace and the U.S. State Department, the humanitarian activity in the Gaza Strip is managed by the BoP, and this Hamas-led-flotilla is another provocation designed to divert attention from Hamas’s refusal to disarm - and to serve the PR interests of professional provocateurs.
The Greek government agreed that the flotilla activists would be disembarked on its shores, and we thank it for that.
Saif Abu Keshek, suspected of affiliation with a terrorist organization and Thiago Ávila suspected of illegal activity, will be brought to Israel for questioning.
Israel will not allow the breach of the lawful naval blockade on Gaza.
I strongly condemn the parroting of the Hamas “genocide”blood libel and the calls to “push back against Zionism”by elected officials, mayoral appointees, and antisemitic AROC during the Arab Heritage Month event, hosted by Mayor @DanielLurie in City Hall yesterday.
I call on Mayor Lurie to publicly and unequivocally distance himself from these vile comments and baseless allegations, which embolden extremists and have proven to put Jews at greater risk.
Words have meaning. Leaders have responsibility.
Buying off the ICC Prosecutor.
Qatar launched an intelligence operation & promised to “look after” Karim Khan over targeting Israel. When the operation’s manager was asked if backing came from a sheikh or the state, he said: “the state.”
A crooked prosecutor. A corrupted court.

The Consulate General of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the two antisemitic attacks that took place in the GTA this weekend.
On Saturday, a Jewish man was assaulted outside the Synagogue at the Sephardic Kehila Centre while accompanied by his child.
On Sunday, a Jewish-owned store was targeted for the third time, with a rock thrown through its window.
These are not isolated incidents. They are expressions of rising antisemitism, manifesting in repeated, targeted violence against the Jewish community.
These events are the direct product of a climate in which antisemitism has been tolerated and permitted to take root and proliferate.
What is required now is consistent action and clear consequences that restore deterrence and ensure the safety of Jewish Canadians.
Minister of Foreign Affairs @gidonsaar Appointed @GeorgeDeek as Special Envoy to the Christian World
Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar has appointed George Deek as Special Envoy to the Christian World. The appointment is intended to deepen Israel’s ties with Christian communities around the world.
Deek, a veteran diplomat with 18 years of experience, most recently served as Israel’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan and was the first Christian ambassador in Israel’s history. He is a recipient of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director General’s Award for Excellence.
He is a member of the Arab Christian community in Jaffa and has been active in the community from a young age. His father, Youssef Deek, served for many years as Chairman of the Orthodox Christian community in Jaffa and in Israel.
Minister Sa’ar:
“The State of Israel attaches great importance to its relations with the Christian world and with its Christian friends around the world. I am confident that George, a respected and experienced diplomat, will greatly contribute to the friendship and strengthening of the ties between the State of Israel and the Christian world.”
At this point, omitting Hezbollah isn’t oversight - it’s policy.
Mind boggling how António Guterres can post about a Hezbollah terror attack in Lebanon without mentioning the perpetrator - like reviewing Jaws and skipping the shark.
Equating a sovereign UN member state with a jihadist terrorist organization is yet another proof of the UN Secretary-General’s failure.
The UN has failed to disarm Hezbollah and failed to uphold its own Security Council Resolution 1701.
Hezbollah is the enemy of both Israel and Lebanon, serving as the Iranian regime’s proxy to dominate Lebanon.
@antonioguterres should stand firmly behind genuine Israel–Lebanon peace efforts, not offer excuses for Hezbollah.
They speak endlessly about “common values.”
Really?
At the United Nations, values are no longer defended, they are traded.
At the center stands the Iranian regime - one of the world’s worst human rights violators: executions, repression, terror.
Yet instead of being isolated, it is accommodated.
This is not diplomacy. It is hypocrisy.
It is moral surrender.
To gain influence and seats, states ignore reality and abandon their own principles, and then lecture Israel about “shared values.”
This is not values-based policy.
This is moral bankruptcy.
