This year marks the 125th anniversary of the Second Zionist Congress giving women the right to vote - 5 years before the suffragette movement was founded. So, what's the situation with women in Israeli politics today?

הלב נשבר.
היום יובואו למנוחות ליה בן נון, אוהד דהן ואורי יצחק אילוז ז"ל.
מלח הארץ. צעירים ערכיים ואכפתיים אשר בחרו להתנדב ולשרת בקרבי בכדי להגן על מדינת ישראל ותושביה.
שולחת תנחומים למשפחות היקרות, עם ישראל איתכם.
יהי זכרם ברוך.

Heartbreaking 💔

Horrific news💔

#Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital announced that Lucy Dee, the mother of Maia & Rina Dee who were shot dead on Friday by a Palestinian terrorist, has passed away from injuries sustained in the terror attack.

May the memories of Maia, Rina & Lucy be for a blessing.

Across Israel and the Jewish world, our hearts are broken 💔

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

Three sets of siblings were brutally murdered by Palestinian terrorists in the past three months. It's unbearable to imagine the pain of their families and friends.

We must speak out and condemn this violence and hate in all forms. May their memories be for a blessing.

A brave woman and a chilling must read!

As tensions rise, we as a society need to safeguard ourselves from extreme polarization and a loss of respect and dignity at the people-to-people level.

[יאיר לפיד - Yair Lapid @yairlapid]

מגנה בתוקף את המצור על ביתה של ח״כ טלי גוטליב, אם לילדה עם צרכים מיוחדים, ואת העובדה שלא איפשרו לה להוציא את הילדה למסגרת. זו אינה דרכנו. זו אינה דרכה של המחאה. שולח לטלי חיזוק ולבתה חיבוק.

Shavua tov! Wishing all of you and our country as a whole a week of hope, optimism and some more state building 🇮🇱

[Beca Bookman @BecaBookman]

Good morning!

Who's this? Me, tweeting two days in a row? Say whoa!

Wishing all you lovelies a fab day ☀️

@irenerabinowitz The lack of constitution has been, is now and will continue to be a real problem in this country. You'd think as we near 75 years we'd have a more solid foundation for governance, but alas...

[Beca Bookman @BecaBookman]

Just like an Oreo needs both cookie and cream, our country needs checks AND balances! Not one, not the other - we should be working towards having both.

[Lahav Harkov @LahavHarkov]

@zevyr The problem is that neither the current situation nor the proposed reform provides much in terms of balances, only checks on one side or the other. The answer, IMO, should be somewhere in the middle: checks AND balances. Herzog gets it.

No day like an election to pop back on Twitter. What'd I miss over here? #Israelex22

[Beca Bookman @BecaBookman]

@canva Is there an estimate as to when the issue will be resolved? Thanks!

[Beca Bookman @BecaBookman]

Proud and super happy. #Covid_19 forced me to cancel my #Canada trip. Longest I've gone without seeing my city, my family and my friends. Thanks @AirCanada for giving me hope of a reunion soon!

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

Mazal Tov @AirCanada! Helping keep #Canadians and #Israelis connected and together for 25 years!

I've been pretty quiet on here. Today, I feel a need to scream out for the injustices in our world. But the only way I can think to start is by being quiet. Listening. Learning. Letting those most affected be our teachers. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackOutTuesday

[Chrystia Freeland @cafreeland]

Canada is proud to have a feminist foreign policy, and our government is proud to fight for women at home and around the world to take positions of leadership. @WomenOfInfluence #HumanRightsDay

[MASHAV Israel @MASHAVisrael]

Following the devastating earthquake which struck #PapuaNewGuinea, the State of #Israel through MASHAV & the Embassy of @IsraelinOZ responded immediately by delivering 40 generators for communities suffering from damage to critical infrastructure

[Beca Bookman @BecaBookman]

When government workers in #Israel are nice, I feel like they're denying me the full experience. Tough life, eh?
