33 years later, we do not forget.
This week, Israel welcomed survivors of the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, a terrorist attack carried out by Iran and Hezbollah that murdered 29 people.
Foreign Minister @gidonsaar thanked the survivors for their service to Israel, their resilience, and their decades-long commitment to keeping the memory of the attack alive.

"They say the settlements are illegal. Weโre saying itโs not true. I don't think there is another nation on this planet that has better documented proof for its right to its land."
As always good to meet with the leadership of @AIPAC. I thanked them for all they do to strengthen the US-Israel friendship, and promote understanding of the challenges we face in these difficult times.
The talks hosted by the US between Israel and Lebanon are important.
It is our mutual and shared interest to see Hezbollah disarmed.
Good meeting today in Jerusalem with EU Mediterranean Commissioner @dubravkasuica.
Israel values its relationship with Europe, and believes in comprehensive, honest, and open dialogue. But dialogue cannot mean one side dictating political positions to the other, especially on issues at the heart of our existence.
We appreciate greatly the Commissionerโs work to promote partnerships between Europe and our region.
Pleased to welcome in Jerusalem today the Serb member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ลฝeljka @Cvijanovic_Z.
We spoke about the importance of the ongoing and deepening ties between our peoples.
We also discussed the need to safeguard the Christian minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. ๏ฟผ
The Serbs are true friends of Israel and the Jewish people!

Warm greetings to FM @DrSJaishankar and the people of India on International Yoga Day.
Originating in India and embraced across the world, yoga promotes harmony, well-being, and resilience - values that bring people and nations closer together.
Wishing our Indian friends a meaningful celebration ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฑ
The US designates Hezbollah as a terror organization. They are a malignant cancer & have killed hundreds of Americans. They are common enemy of Lebanon & Israel. They occupy civilian homes in Lebanon to store weapons & fire drones & rockets into civilian targets in Israel. Evil.
The EU Ambassador admits that the statements attributed to @KajaKallas regarding apartheid do not represent the position of the European Union
@Jerusalem_Post@AmichaiStein1
Israel is our greatest ally and strongest partner in the Middle East.
The evil Iranian regime wants to wipe BOTH of us off the face of the Earth. That will never happen because we will ALWAYS stand together.
Americaโs unwavering support for Israelโs defense helps make the America First agenda possible, the U.S. stronger, and the world a safer place.
We've arrived exactly where this was heading.
The Israeli FM has cut contact with the EU's top diplomat - not over policy disagreements - those are normal in diplomacy. Because of an unretracted comparison of Israel to apartheid South Africa.
Kallas' response? Reaffirming the two-state solution and condemning illegal settlements. Fine - that is EU policy. But she still hasn't denied the apartheid remark. Sa'ar noticed. So did everyone else.
Calling Israel, the only democracy in the region - one that grants full citizenship to its 20% Arab minority - an "apartheid state" is not EU policy. It is a libel. And no country takes that lying down.
The EU's official position does not include the apartheid libel. Kallas should have said so from day one. The longer this goes unaddressed, the more European credibility in the Middle East erodes - and with it, any meaningful role the EU might play in getting to that two-state outcome we all say we want.
Madam,
With all due respect, even in your remarks here you refrain from denying or condemning what has been attributed to you and published publicly. That speaks for itself.
To the best of my knowledge, the statements attributed to you regarding โapartheidโ do not reflect the position of the European Union.
The matter is simple: if you did indeed make these vile and defamatory statements, stand behind them.
If you did not make them, deny it.
Until this matter is cleared up, my decision will remain unchanged.
