Consul General of Israel in Bangalore

[Orli Weitzman @OrliWeitzman]

I am deeply horrified by the brutal terror attack on innocent tourists in #Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. My heart goes out to all those affected. Israel stands firmly with India in the fight against terrorism. 🇮🇱🤝🇮🇳

16 years to the horrific 26/11 #Mumbaiattacks
we held a commemoration ceremony at 🇮🇱 embassy @IsraelinIndia to remember almost 200 murdered and more than 300 wounded by 10 Lashkar-e -Taiba terrorists.
One of the most tragic stories then was the attack against the Chabad Center and the massacre of Rabbi Holtzberg and his pregnant wife.
Antisemitic terrorist attacks against Chabad, a peaceful Jewish outreach organization continue. The abduction and murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the UAE happened only last week.
We must and we will remain strong & united in the fight against terrorism.🇮🇱🤝🇮🇳

Watch my interview with @sidhant on current situation. We will continue operations to achieve implementation of UNSCR 1701 and get the Hizbollah terrorists away from our border.

[🇮🇱 Reuven Azar @ReuvenAzar]

Haifa’s main hospital in northern Israel 🇮🇱@rambam_hospital has gone under ground. Israel is resilient and won’t surrender to terrorists.

[Benjamin Netanyahu - ב��ימין נתניהו @netanyahu]

No country can accept the wanton rocketing of its cities. We can't accept it either.

[Naftali Bennett נפתלי בנט @naftalibennett]

A few points regarding the latest Israel-Hezbollah war:

1. Israel left Lebanon 24 years ago. Since then Hezbollah has attacked Israel time and again for no reason whatsoever.

2. During the past eleven months Hezbollah shot over 8,000 rockets on Israel, killing dozens of Israelis, including 12 children on a soccer field.

3. These attacks were unprovoked.
I’ll remind you that Gaza is on Israel’s southern border, whereas Hezbollah is in Lebanon, on Israel’s northern border.

4. Israel's government evacuated some 80,000 Israelis from their homes in northern Israel, and they've been refugees in their own country ever since.
This is shameful and unacceptable.

5. The Israeli government has shown tremendous—and in my view, way too much—restraint during this past year.
Imagine if, say, El-Qaida set base in Cuba, and shot 8,000 rockets at Florida, causing the evacuation of Miami, killing dozens of American children.
How would the US government respond?
Do you now understand why I think Israel's government has "contained" this for way too long?

6. I don't know who's behind the Pager-attack, however there could not be a more pinpointed and selective attack.
These Pagers were distributed BY HEZBOLLAH TO ITS SENIOR OPERATIVES.
So by definition, anybody carrying a pager was part of this savage terror organisation.
Therefore, I simply cannot understand criticism by the likes of AOC or the UN chief.
Whoever did this, displayed a moral, effective and clever anti-terror operation.

7. What next?
Israel is fed up with Hezbollah and Lebanon terrorising our people.
We need Hezbollah to move away from our border, lay down their arms and rockets, and quit terror.
This can be achieved diplomatically or militarily, but it must happen now.
We've run out of patience.

8. Hezbollah=Lebanon.
Hezbollah controls the Lebanese government, and cannot survive without popular support.
Hezbollah is not a rogue organisation isolated from Lebanon, just as, say, the Nazis were not divorced from Germany in WW2. Nazis WERE Germany, and Hezbollah IS Lebanon.
Therefore Israel and the world must view this as an Israel-Lebanon war, with all the devastating consequences that follow.

1/4 Regarding the Message from EU High Commissioner Borrell:
The Israeli Foreign Ministry would like to thank the EU for their message congratulating Israel on the swearing in of a new government.

[משרד החוץ @IsraelHebrew]

במסגרת המאמץ להחזיר את כל האזרחים הישראלים לארץ, צילמו שגרירי ישראל ברחבי העולם את עצמם פונים לישראלים במדינותיהם בבקשה להזדרז ולחזור לארץ לפני שיסגרו הגבולות. הסרטון הזה מסכם את הפניות של השגרירים לישראלים בעולם.

אל תתמהמהו, תחזרו לארץ כמה שיותר מהר, לפני שכל הדרכים תסגרנה.

[ועד עובדי משרד החוץ @saveisraelmfa]

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Irish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Simon Coveney.

They discussed regional issues and threats to the State of Israel, especially the Iranian threat, and recent developments vis-à-vis the Gaza Strip.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

The #Iranian regime tried to silence these voices with brutal violence and by shutting down the internet.

Now it is clear, Iranians are demanding a change of priorities. Stop regime #terror.
