On the occasion of Israel’s 78 Independence Day 🇮🇱

We extend our greetings to all those celebrating and express our hope for peace, security, and a better future for everyone in the region.

Thank you @IsraelPresident for hosting the diplomatic corps on this celebratory occasion

The European Union is a vital actor in support of the Palestinian government and the two-state solution, which is necessary to achieve regional peace and security.

Glad to work with co-chair @kajakallas in Brussels on long-term support for Palestine at today’s AHLC meeting.

I welcome the news about a 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon. It is paramount to strive for turning this opportunity into lasting peace. Violence and civilian suffering must end.

I commend the Lebanese government’s leadership, including in responding to the deep humanitarian crisis.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

With fellow European foreign ministers, I call for the inclusion of Lebanon in the regional de-escalation efforts. The opportunity offered by the ceasefire between the United States and Iran must be seized.
We welcome the talks between Lebanon and Israel. https://t.co/ZtG5W0hyaZ

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

I welcome the temporary ceasefire between Iran and the United States. This gives diplomacy a chance, at a moment when the world stood on the brink of a dangerous escalation.

I commend Pakistan, working with Türkiye & Egypt, for their tireless efforts for dialogue.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

In my meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore, we discussed Norway’s vital role in Arctic security and the strategic importance of Greenland. We look forward to partnering with Norway on supply chain security, including on critical minerals.

Yesterday I took part in celebrating 77 years since the establishment of the Knesset and 60 years since the inauguration of the current building in Jerusalem. The importance of democracy.

On Tu biShvat, the Embassy took part in celebrating 77 years since the establishment of the Knesset and 60 years since the inauguration of the current building in Jerusalem. An occasion to reflect on the importance of democracy.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day, in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. I took part in a memorial ceremony in the International Institute for Holocaust Studies in Israel (Massuah).

[NorwayinIsrael @NorwayinIsrael]

With the return of Ran Gvili, a painful chapter closes for Israel. Our thoughts are with his family, who can finally lay him to rest. A moment of sorrow and relief, and a step toward national healing after the terrorist attack on 7 October 2023.

The Ambassador hosted a shared Norwegian Christmas and Hanukkah reception—celebrating light, tradition, and community. Through candle-lighting, music by the Kulna Jaffa Youth Choir, and holiday food, we enjoyed a double dose of light, warmth, and hope in challenging times.

[Jonas Gahr Støre @jonasgahrstore]

I am shocked by the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia, during a Jewish Hanukkah event. I condemn this despicable act of terror in the strongest possible terms. My deepest condolences to all those affected by today’s tragic attack.

[Thomas Rem Berdal @trberdal]

🎗️🇮🇱 Finally. Happy to get some of the hopeful and happy atmosphere at Hostages’ Square.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

A day of relief and hope as hostages return home and families are reunited.
Thank you @POTUS for your leadership.

Further releases of hostages and prisoners will bring momentum to the continued implementation of the 20 point plan.

[NorwayinIsrael @NorwayinIsrael]

A day of excitement and relief across Israel as hostages return home and families are reunited.
