The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the decision to select Ambassador Ruth Kahanoff to light a torch at the official ceremony on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the State of Israel. Kahanoff will light the torch in the name of MASHAV - Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation.
MASHAV was established 60 years ago as the official foreign aid arm of the State of Israel. Over the course of six decades, MASHAV has sent thousands of experts and instructors to every corner of the world in order to share the knowhow and experience that have transformed the world into better place for hundreds of millions of people. MASHAV is the bearer of tidings, and embodies the Jewish/Israeli concept of Tikun Olam (the commitment to work towards a better world). MASHAVโs longstanding activities have cast Israel as a development pioneer, have opened political and diplomatic doors and have played a role in strengthening the Israeli economy.
Ambassador Kahanoff has extensive diplomatic experience and has made a significant impact on Israel's foreign relations. She has served as MFA Deputy Director General for the Asia-Pacific Region and as Israel's Ambassador to Japan. During her diplomatic career, Kahanoff led MASHAV activities in the field as a diplomat and ambassador as well as an administrative director at MFA headquarters.
Over the past 60 years, MASHAV has instructed and trained almost 300,000 trainees from some 140 developing countries in fields in which Israel excels, such as agriculture, education, medicine, empowering women and preparation for emergency situations.
The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes great pride in the decision to honor MASHAV as one of the torch lighters at the Independence Day ceremony. The choice is a fitting honor for the 60-year-old world-wide enterprise and the hundreds of Israeli experts and instructors, MFA staff members.

The Irish ambassador to Israel was summoned this morning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the participation of Dublin's Lord Mayor Mรญcheรกl Mac Donncha in an anti-Israel demonstration in Ramallah and on the backdrop of two hostile decisions against Israel taken this week by the Dublin city council.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Deputy Director-General - Europe Division Rodica Radian-Gordon expressed her astonishment and deep disappointment that the lord mayor chose to participate in such a blatant anti-Israel event. This is especially disturbing when taken in context with the timing of the event โ the week during which Israel marks the Holocaust.
The Government of Israel expects an official public response from the Government of Ireland with regard to the conduct of the both the Dublin city council and of the lord mayor, who are waging a campaign of hatred and discrimination against the State of Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
A year ago, I declared Israelโs full support for President Trumpโs decision to take a stand against the use and spread of chemical weapons. President Trumpโs resolve and Israelโs support remain unchanged.
Early this morning, under American leadership, the United States, France and the United Kingdom demonstrated that their commitment is not limited to proclamations of principle.
It should be clear to President Assad that his reckless efforts to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction, his wanton disregard for international law and his provision of a forward base for Iran and its proxies endanger Syria.
