"The remarks by Turkey's Foreign Minister are a clear call for genocide. The Jewish people know all too well what happens when such words are allowed to go unanswered. The first step on the road to genocide is dehumanization." Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער, in joint remarks with Rwanda's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Olivier J.P. Nduhungirehe

Another antisemitic attack in Spain. Let’s be clear: targeting Jews because of Jewish symbols - and demanding they distance themselves from Zionism to be accepted - is blatant antisemitism. Jewish identity and Zionism are inseparable. Authorities must act decisively.

🇪🇸 Pedro Sánchez - Iran’s mullah regime is thanking you by putting your words on the missiles it fires at civilians in Israel and the Arab world. How does it feel knowing your face & words are on these missiles? Keep in mind that Europe - including Spain - is within range of these missiles.

Allegations today at UNESCO that the Beaufort site is endangered because it is “presently under direct Israeli military occupation” are outrageous. It is the terrorist organization Hezbollah who is endangering Lebanon's historical sites, including the Beaufort. During more than a decade, jihadist Hezbollah transformed the 12th Century Crusader Castle into a terrorist stronghold. Hezbollah dug a massive network of terror tunnels directly beneath this ancient site, and launched hundreds of rockets, missiles and UAVs at Israeli civilians from this compound. One should ask why during Hezbollah's occupation no proposal was advanced to recognize it as a site in danger. Link to full speech

.@IsraelPolice is looking for the humanitarian aid from the Hamas-Sumud provocation so it can be transferred peacefully to Gaza. The only problem: so far they haven’t found much. Like we said, it was never about the aid. It was always about the provocation.

How come Jews make up less than 1% of Canada’s population, yet suffer 70% of its religious hate crimes? In 2025 alone, Canada recorded 6,800 antisemitic incidents. That's 20 a day! And while the incidents keep adding up, the incitement continues. Canada’s government has failed to protect its Jewish community. The time to ban incitement is now.

ISRAEL CONDEMNS THE POLITICIZATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE AT UNESCO As the 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee convenes in Busan, South Korea, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on Committee members to reject the cynical weaponization of cultural heritage and the complete betrayal of professional integrity that threaten to destroy the credibility of the World Heritage Convention. The case of Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon exposes this profound international failure. For years, Hezbollah has systematically weaponized and desecrated this historic Crusader fortress, converting it into a military stronghold. Hezbollah constructed a massive network of terror tunnels directly beneath the ancient site and launched approximately 400 rockets at Israeli civilians from this compound. Lebanon bears full responsibility for allowing a terrorist organization to exploit its sovereign territory and sensitive heritage sites. UNESCO’s silence on Hezbollah’s systematic desecration of Beaufort, while targeting Israel’s defensive operations, is a moral abdication. At the same time, the Palestinian delegation continues to exploit UNESCO to advance a hostile, one-sided campaign, specifically through its initiative concerning Sebastia, ancient Samaria. Sebastia is the historic, biblical capital of the ancient Kingdom of Israel. The attempt to portray the site as facing an emergency is entirely unsupported by professional evaluation, and serves only as a political tool to erase the site’s profound, well-documented Jewish and Christian history. The real threat to Sebastia is the Palestinian Authority's own record of neglect and complicity, which has allowed the ancient ruins to suffer rampant vandalism, theft, and desecration. UNESCO cannot remain silent when terrorists systematically hijack heritage sites, nor can it allow its platform to be exploited to erase well-documented history. This cynical weaponization of cultural heritage undermines the very credibility of the World Heritage Convention. Israel calls on the World Heritage Committee to reject one-sided political initiatives, condemn the military exploitation of heritage sites, and stand firm in defense of professional standards, historical truth, and the shared cultural heritage of humanity. 📸 Sebastia 📹 Beaufort

Allegations at UNESCO regarding Sebastia deliberately erase one fundamental truth: Sebastia is one of the most significant ancient Jewish heritage sites in the Land of Israel. Israeli Representative Nina Ben-Ami 🇮🇱 to UNESCO: “Any discussion of Sebastia must recognize, explicitly, the ancient Jewish presence and connection to this land. Yet the Palestinian submission deliberately ignores this historic fact. In doing so, it seeks to erase the people of Israel’s connection to the Land of Israel. It is a travesty. The eternal connection of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel will not be severed by a resolution in UNESCO.” Full statement:

Shomron (Samaria) was founded as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel some 3000 years ago. Later renamed Sebastia by Herod, the King of Judea, it is a site of Jewish legacy and cultural heritage. UNESCO should know the Jewish history of Sebastia. A World Heritage designation that obliterates that history undermines the institution's own purpose.

While the world, specifically the democratic West, gives the new Syrian government significant leeway, it would be incumbent on Syrian authorities to disallow public displays of hatred. We don’t like when people burn our 🇮🇱flag. It is deeply concerning when done by supporters of the new Syrian government, while waving the flag dubbed that of “Free Syria”.

“The decision to submit a dozen tentative sites for UNESCO World Heritage status, including the ancient Jerusalem water system, the fortress of Herodium, and the Hasmonean Palaces, represents another Palestinian attempt to rewrite Jewish history in the Land of Israel. Try though it may, neither the Palestinians nor this committee can erase the people of Israel’s ancient roots in our ancestral homeland. While the move may pass muster today in this conference, it will not stand the test of time.” Ambassador Nina Ben-Ami 🇮🇱, DDG for UN & International Organizations on the Palestinian submission to the UNESCO Tentative List at the UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Busan, July 24th 2026.

What is happening right now at Al-Aqsa? Following the evening payers of #Ramadan many youngsters entered the Masque & closed the doors, for no reason. Meanwhile, soccer matches are being held just next to the Mosque. Is this how the sanctity of the place is being maintained ?
