I was honored to celebrate #Israel78 Independence Day in Thessaloniki, surrounded by so many friends of Israel from across public life, academia, business, and culture.
I was especially touched by the recognition bestowed upon me by the Greek-Israeli Friendship Association. Thessaloniki holds a special place in my heart, and I sincerely thank the Greek-Israeli Friendship Association and the Jewish Community of Thessaloniki for organizing such a meaningful evening and for their continued commitment to strengthening the bonds between Israel and Greece. 🇮🇱🇬🇷
On this day in history in 1453, Constantinople falls to the Ottoman Turks.
After a two-month-long siege, the city finally fell, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire. The last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI Palaiologos, was last seen casting off his imperial regalia and joining in hand-to-hand combat after the walls of the city were breached.
Τις τελευταίες ημέρες στο @Israel@IsraelinGreece@NoamKatz_ έγινε viral ο μονόλογος μου στο @action24tv υπέρ του Ισραήλ. Χιλιάδες κατά κυριολεξία λογαριασμοί εκεί αναπαρήγαγαν και μετέφρασαν στα Εβραϊκά και στα Αγγλικά το βίντεο αυτό. Δέχομαι ασταμάτητα μηνύματα αγάπης και φιλίας από Εβραίους από όλο τον κόσμο και τους ευχαριστώ όλους. Χθες επ´αφορμής αυτών των δηλώσεών μου, με κάλεσαν και έδωσα μία συνέντευξη στην Κρατική τηλεόραση του Ισραήλ, στο Kan 11. Σας παραθέτω αυτή μου την συνέντευξη και χαίρομαι που γίνομαι έστω και λίγο χρήσιμος στην φιλία και συμμαχία της Ελλάδος με το Ισραήλ:
It was a true privilege to participate in the Athens Defence Summit, where key decision-makers and influencers from Greece and Europe gathered to discuss present and future security challenges.
Huge thanks to @ASeferlis from @ant1tv for the insightful interview.
In our conversation I highlighted the serious threat posed by Iran’s extremist regime to regional and global security.
Shavuot celebrates the harvest season since ancient times and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. A time of gratitude, abundance, learning, and togetherness, traditionally enjoyed with sweet dairy dishes.
Wishing everyone Chag Shavuot Sameach, a wonderful weekend, and a beautiful summer. 🌱🌾☀️
So much love from across Europe and around the world last night 💙🇮🇱
Huge congratulations to Bulgaria and DARA for BANGARANGA 🇧🇬✨ Truly deserved 👏
And judging by the votes… looks like Europe couldn’t get Michelle out of their heads 😉�
Greece is positioning itself as a major European gateway in the proposed India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) as Athens and Cyprus strengthen ties with the UAE with strong US backing. During visits to Abu Dhabi, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides discussed technology, energy, maritime security, and regional cooperation with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, while Greece also signed an AI and technology agreement with the Emirates. The article links these moves to a new US Senate proposal supporting an Eastern Mediterranean trade corridor connecting India, the Gulf, Israel, Greece, and Europe through ports, logistics, and digital infrastructure.

🚨 NO, THIS IS NOT IRAN — THIS IS NATO MEMBER TURKEY
At a ceremony in Turkey marking victims of the Minab school attack, children were directed on stage to rip apart images of U.S. President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and both American and Israeli flags.
In the background, a portrait of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was prominently displayed.
Is Turkey replacing Iran as the new center for Jihad?
What will become of these kids in 15 years?
🕯️ Tomorrow evening marks Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day.
On this day, we pause, remember, and bow our heads in memory of the six million Jews – men, women, and children – who were murdered in the Holocaust.
We remember their names, their stories, and our responsibility: to pass on the memory, to fight antisemitism, and to ensure that “Never Again” is more than just a slogan.
May their memory be a blessing. 💔
Christ is risen! Χρόνια Πολλά! I extend my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Easter today. May this day bring you and your families health, hope, and connection. 🇺🇸🇬🇷
