Glad to host the FM of Finland @elinavaltonen at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem. This was the first visit of a Finnish FM in Israel since 2016.
In our meeting, we discussed strengthening bilateral relations and the situation in the Middle East.
I thanked the Minister for Finland's support for the EU decision to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as a terror organization.
We'll continue working together to strengthen relations between our countries. 🇮🇱🇫🇮
Just spoke with Czech Deputy PM and FM @petr_macinka and congratulated him upon assuming office and on the establishment of the new government under PM @Andrejbabis.
I told him that we see the Czech Republic as one of our greatest friends in Europe and in the world, and as a natural partner. We appreciate the Czech Republic's close friendship and consistent support, especially throughout the war.
We agreed to work together to further strengthen our close relations and I thanked him for including the commitment to the special relations with Israel in the new government's guiding principles.
We also discussed the EU and the antisemitic terror attack in Sydney.
I invited him to soon visit Jerusalem.
🇮🇱🇨🇿
In difficult times, true solidarity is measured by actions.
This message in the heart of Prague reflects a deep and meaningful friendship.
Israel thanks the Czech people for standing with us, for your moral clarity, and for your steadfast support. 🇮🇱🇨🇿
Izrael Dekuje. תודה
Tonight we lit the first candle of Hanukkah in the center of Prague led by Rabbi Barash of Chabbad. It was very moving especially after today’s heinous terror attack against Jews in Sydney who celebrated Hanukkah. Here in Prague many people gathered to celebrate and show solidarity in the fight against antisemitism.
My sincere thanks to the dignitaries who took part in tonight’s event: Deputy Head of Parliament @PatrikNacher , MP and incoming Foreign Minister @petr_macinka , MP and future Minister of Sport @borisstastny , Vice Mayor of Prague @Hlavacek_P , Mayor of Prague 1 Mrs Terezie Radoměřskà and many others. There was a special atmosphere tonight that you can feel in the videos attached.
Dekuji 🇨🇿
Hostage survivor, Aviva Siegel, gives evidence at the UN Committee against Torture (Geneva).
“..I lost 10kg in 51 days..”
The real starvation was of hostages by their captors.
Implement the ceasefire agreement. Hamas must disarm. Gaza must demilitarize. Release the 4 remaining hostages’ corpses.

“The Night of Broken Glass”- Kristallnacht, 87 years ago, today. Homes, synagogues & shops of Jews destroyed nationwide in Germany and Austria. This is how it started.
Today, Jews worldwide face threat & attack - for being Jews. We’ve seen the darkness before. We will never walk into it again.
This time we have a sovereign home, a voice that will not be silent. 🇮🇱
A must read: the scandalous cover up by @UNRWA and the @UN on the involvement of @UNRWA workers in October 7th terror attacks and their membership in Hamas. And then they claim that @UNRWA has the biggest neutrality checks for its workers and installations in the @UN system….what a sad joke !
To any donor who still thinks @UNRWA can be reformed ,stop telling yourself these fairy tales . The solution is simple: transfer your funding to other humanitarian organisations which are not infested with terror .

Wishing all my Czech friends a very happy 28th October! 🇨🇿🎉
It’s a true privilege to live and work in this beautiful country and to be able to call it a home away from home.
Here’s to the Czech love of freedom, culture, and good humor and to the lasting friendship between Israel and the Czech Republic.
🇮🇱❤️🇨🇿

Turkish academic creates model of hanged 🇮🇱PM Netanyahu, with a “Death Penalty” sign. Proudly aided by a state company.
Turkish authorities have not disavowed this disgraceful behavior.
In Erdoğan’s Turkey, hatred & antisemitism isn’t condemned. It's celebrated.
After 738 days in Hamas captivity,
When Rom Breslavsky was asked what he wanted most, he said:
“I just want to look at the sky.”💔
Thousands from around the world answered his wish;
sending photos of their skies from every corner of the globe.
One hero, one simple wish, and humanity united under the same sky.
IDF representatives informed the families of the hostages Guy Ilouz, Capt. Daniel Peretz, Yossi Sharabi and Bipin Joshi, may their memories be for a blessing, that their loved ones had been returned to Israel and their identification has been completed.

A day of celebration for Israel, the release of our hostages and a deeply moving moment as our new Ambassador presented credentials to @prezidentpavel.
We are grateful for the Czech Republic’s unwavering friendship and support.
🇮🇱🇨🇿
Velvyslanec @AmirwWeissbrod právě dnes předal pověřovací listiny do rukou prezidenta @prezidentpavel:
“Někdy se všechno sejde tak, jak to má být.
Dnešek byl velmi emotivní den: Izraelští rukojmí byli propuštěni a já jsem předal své pověřovací listiny panu prezidentu Pavlovi.
Nenašel bych lepší místo, než je Česká republika, k předání pověřovacích listin v tak významný den. České podpory v pro nás nejtěžší době si hluboce vážíme. Slyšet naši hymnu „Hatikva (naděje)“ znít na Pražském hradě v tento historický den pro mě znamenalo neskutečně mnoho.
Děkuji @prezidentpavel za velmi příjemné zdvořilostní setkání. Budu tvrdě pracovat na dalším posílení našich bilaterálních vztahů.”

At 6:29 a.m. (Israel time) two years ago on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah (October 7, 2023) Hamas terrorists launched a wave of horrific attacks on southern Israeli communities, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
On Simchat Torah 2025, thousands gathered at the site of the Nova Festival in southern Israel for prayers as the nation anxiously awaits the return of the 48 hostages still held in captivity since Simchat Torah 2023.🎗️🇮🇱
734 days in darkness. 734 days of unimaginable pain, fear, and resilience.
Now, as the world watches, we await their return, every soul, every face.
Bring them all home. 🎗️
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱💙
Gazan civilians celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the October 7th Massacre.
2 years later, these people still haven’t learned anything. They are happy that Hamas slaughtered nearly 1000 civilians in a single day.
