Israel marks #Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the Six Million Jewish men, women & children who were slaughtered in the Holocaust by the Nazis.

We remember and we will Never forget! 🕯️

The Irish ambassador to Israel was summoned this morning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the participation of Dublin's Lord Mayor Mícheál 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 – 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.

73 years after the end of the 2nd World War and the Nazi attempt to exterminate the Jews in the Holocaust, the Jewish people are again thriving, in the State of Israel and around the world.

⬆️🎦 Hamas is preparing to initiate another violent confrontation today on the Israel-Gaza fence.

Israel will continue to defend its borders and its citizens. Your country would do the same.

Israel congratulates the National Congress of Honduras for passing with an overwhelming majority a resolution in favor of opening an Embassy in Jerusalem.

A conversation between Prime Minister Netanyahu and the President of Honduras is due to take place soon. 🇮🇱 🇭🇳

Palestinians violently riot along Israel-Gaza fence, some tried to break into 🇮🇱 to carry out attacks in nearby 🇮🇱villages. Israel is protecting its citizens against terrorists. Any country would.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

A year ago, I declared Israel’s full support for President Trump’s decision to take a stand against the use and spread of chemical weapons. President Trump’s resolve and Israel’s 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.

Amir Weissbrod, Israel’s new Ambassador to Jordan, just landed in Amman. We wish Ambassador Weissbrod great success! 🇮🇱 🇯🇴
