If your statement starts with the words, 'I'm not anti-Semitic but...' let me tell you something, you are.

אני נרגש לשתף שהתחלתי השבוע את קורס הצוערים במשרד החוץ, כצוער במסלול המדיני, ובכך גם הפכתי לצד״לניק הראשון בתפקיד 🥰 מבחינתי זה היה הצעד הכי מתבקש בסיפור החיים שלי, המשך ישיר לברית שחתמו הוריי עם מדינת ישראל בשנות ה-70 וה-80 עם הקמת צד״ל בדרום לבנון. ברית האחים שנוצרה למען מטרה משותפת של שלום ושכנות טובה, הופכת היום למציאות עם דור ההמשך שאני חלק ממנו, במדינה שהפכה להיות הבית הרשמי והבלתי מעורער שלי, תחושת השייכות שקרתה בזכות החברה הישראלית ובעיקר מתוך ההבנה העמוקה שהגורל שלי ושל מדינת ישראל הם אחד. לאחר כמעט 15 שנים של עשייה ופעילות ציבורית בתחום הדיפלומטיה הציבורית בזירה הבינלאומית, משפחות צד״ל בארץ והתקשורת בשנים האחרונות, אני עושה את הצעד הזה בתוך תחושת שליחות אמיתית וגאווה לייצג את המדינה שלי בצורה רשמית כחלק מהצוות הדיפלומטי המצויין של משרד החוץ. בקורס שהתחיל השבוע התקבלו 36 צוערים מתוך כ-2000 מועמדים, 26 במסלול המדיני ו-10 למסלול החוץ מנהלי. אנשים מכל קצוות האוכלוסייה מראש הנקרה ועד אילת, נמצא גם אדריכל, מנהלת תסריט, מוציאה לאור, יוצאי יחידות מיוחדות, אנשי תקשורת, ואף בכירים בשירות המדינה. @IsraelMFA

Excited and proud to welcome a new generation of colleagues to Israeli diplomacy. They are taking on no easy mission: representing Israel and standing up for its truth in the face of those determined to distort it. Wishing them courage, conviction and success!

Proud to have played a part in the media coverage behind Israel’s overseas voting operation. 101 polling stations, 99 diplomatic missions, and nearly 4,800 eligible voters worldwide. Democracy doesn’t stop at the border. 🇮🇱

After Oct. 7, every parent in Israel chose a hiding place at home, packed an emergency bag, and taught their kids to stay quiet and hide if needed. 3 years later, the bag is still there. If you don’t understand what this is about, you’ve been manipulated. Educate yourself.

Two facts for #WorldCoffeeDay ☕ Most people drink their first coffee around 8:30 AM. Until 8:30 AM on Simchat Torah, three years ago, 399 young people at Nova festival had already been murdered by terrorists from Gaza.

Serbia strongly condemns the attempted terror attack aboard the flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, targeting Israeli passengers and the ties between Israel and the UAE. The courage of the Israeli passengers and Emirati crew prevented a catastrophe. I am certain that terror will not break these bonds or undermine the vision of the Abraham Accords. Serbia stands in solidarity with Israel and the UAE. @gidonsaar @ABZayed

This is how the passengers who survived the terror attack on the flydubai flight — through a combination of courage and a miracle — were welcomed home today at the airport: with prayers, music, and a lot of love. 🇮🇱❤️

We condemn recent Russian attacks on Kyiv by which a 14 years old Israeli citizen was killed last night, and 20 people - including the boy's mother were injured. Our condolences to the family, and the families who lost their loved ones in recent attacks on Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine and wishing quick recovery to the wounded. @andrii_sybiha @MFA_Ukraine

We didn’t hear the part where you condemn the Palestinian murderer who killed a Jewish father in front of his son yesterday, on the eve of Yom Kippur. “Strong values”?
Stronger in our values. Bolder in our action. Relentless in the alliances we build.

The bonds between #Serbia and #Israel are deep and historical. Serbia was the first country to recognize the Balfour Declaration, affirming its support for the Jewish people’s right to a homeland. The legacy of the Herzl family is yet another testament to the profound contribution of the Jewish #community that lived and flourished on the territory of Serbia, leaving an enduring mark on our shared history. As we pay tribute to the Herzl family today, we also reaffirm our commitment to preserving this shared #heritage and strengthening the enduring #friendship between Serbia and Israel. 🇷🇸🇮🇱

Today I conclude four unforgettable years in Serbia. Thank you to the colleagues, partners, and friends who made this journey so meaningful. It was a privilege to be a part of renewal and deepening of the relationship between 🇮🇱 and 🇷🇸. This is not goodbye—it’s simply do viđenja.

Председница Народне скупштине Републике Србије Ана Брнабић изјавила је данас да Србија веома цени стратешки однос са САД уз оцену да је покретање стратешког дијалога са Вашингтоном за Србију једно од најважнијих достигнућа у последњих неколико деценија. Брнабићева је на међународној конференцији „Партнери у свету који се мења: централна и источна Европа, Америка, Израел и Нови Блиски исток'' у Скупштини Србије, рекла и да Србија дубоко цени пријатељство и партнерство са Израелом и да односи две земље почивају на искреној спремности да се разумеју у тешким временима.

Honored to attend a wonderful concert celebrating 100 years of the Belgrade Synagogue. An inspiring evening of music, culture, and heritage, featuring Shira U’Tfila and special Israeli musician Elad Gabay - historical ties between the Jewish community, Jerusalem and Belgrade.
