Listen to Yaniv explain to @IsraeliPM the critical moments of the rescue - a remarkable display of Israeli and Emirati courage. 🇮🇱🤝🇦🇪

This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

Meet Stéphane Legar. Singer, artist, Christian Israeli… and apparently a pretty good cook too. 😂🇮🇱 We caught up with Stéphane to talk music, life in Israel, and somehow ended up getting a dance lesson along the way. One of the many faces of Christianity in Israel. ✝️ #christiansinisrael #christianartist #dancevideo #behindthescenes #artistlife

An obsession with one country. A double standard for one people.
At the @UN, the fixation on Israel has become institutionalized.

Hamas uses Palestinian children as human shields.
A child was made to carry a heavy machine-gun into a civilian home. When the IDF identified him, it refrained from striking.
Hamas exploits children because it knows Israel protects them.

Palestinian Hamas and other jihadist terrorist organizations are responsibile for the destruction in Gaza.
On October 7, Hamas invaded Israel, mass-murdering, kidnapping, torturing and raping Israelis, including women, children and the elderly.
For years, Hamas deliberately turned Gaza into a vast military stronghold, above and below ground. It constructed the world's most extensive network of military tunnels beneath densely populated neighborhoods and embedded fighters, weapons and military infrastructure in and around public facilities and residential areas, and rigged buildings with explosives.
Hamas deliberately uses its civilians as human shields and then exploits the civilian casualties for its propaganda warfare.
Hamas refuses to disarm, in clear violation of the Trump plan.
What the satellite images don’t show is the Hamas terror infrastructure deliberately embedded within civilian areas and Hamas's cynical use of civilians as human shields.

The new Dutch BDS law forces Americans and American companies to undergo intrusive searches and prove that they do not possess any goods from Jerusalem or Judea and Samaria.
This is absolutely unconscionable and @USTreasury should IMMEDIATELY add the Netherlands to the list of countries requiring cooperation with a boycott under Section 999 of the Internal Revenue Code.
According to this account, Dutch authorities sent all passengers on an @elal flight arriving in Amsterdam for a customs inspection to see if they had evil products from Jerusalem, the Golan or other “settlements” in their suitcase. A real outrage nieuwrechts.nl/113322-heksen…

77 nations walked out when @netanyahu spoke at the UNGA. A majority of the nations stayed back, but that’s not the point. India stayed. Very, very proud of what we have done. May we always stand with Israel. To those Indians who are celebrating this fake walkout, remember Israel gave weapons to India when China invaded in 1962. When the world turned its back on India, Israel stood with us. 1965. 1971. 1999 (Kargil). Balakot. Op Sindoor. Today. This is a bond forged in blood.
Jai Hind. Am Yisrael Chai.

In May 1939, the Irish national football team travelled to Bremen for a match against the German national team.
In order to “honour the hosts,” the Irish players stood before kick-off and gave the Nazi salute as the German anthem “Deutschland über alles,” was played.
During World War II, the Irish conscience disappeared, and Ireland chose to maintain “neutrality” between good and evil.
In 1945, when the world already knew full well what had happened, Irish Prime Minister Éamon de Valera saw fit to visit the German representative in Ireland to offer his condolences on Hitler’s death.
And today — another football match. This time against the Israeli national team. Once again, the famous Irish conscience makes an appearance and takes to the pitch.
Almost 90 years have passed. Ireland’s unique talent for finding itself on the wrong side of history remains intact.
Back then, they gave the Nazi salute. This time, they stand on the side of Palestinian terrorism. Above the black armbands the Irish players will wear tonight flies the black flag of jihadism.
Good luck to the Israeli national team tonight. 🇮🇱

This is how Hamas exploits Palestinian children.
A child used to move weapons.
A child used as a human shield.
Children turned into tools of war and terror.
Hamas exploits Palestinian children for terror.

הקונסוליה הישראלית בניו יורק יצאה בקמפיין לקראת ההקרנה הראשונה של הסרט נז"א בעיר. מחוץ ללינקולן סנטר הוצבו כמה משאיות שנשאו כיתובים כמו "נדרשת חשיבה ביקורתית", "לסרטים יש עורכים, להיסטוריה אין".

The BBC’s coverage of Israel and Gaza demands a reckoning.
For three years, claims from Hamas-controlled Gaza were too often amplified while Israeli evidence was met with automatic suspicion.
We presented evidence of Palestinian terrorists operating under the cover of journalists, humanitarian workers and medical personnel. Too often, it was ignored or dismissed.
This was an institutional failure of journalism.

Stating facts. The Cold War-era UN's purpose was to prevent open war between the US and the USSR. Based on time spent, the post-Cold War UN's purpose is to condemn Israel while ignoring or covering up the crimes and terror of Islamist states, groups, and other dictatorships.
Argentina's President @JMilei, addressing the UNGA:
“The alleged defenders of human rights have sheltered bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets.
They have systematically voted against Israel while remaining silent in the face of Islamic terrorism and the genocide of Christians in Africa.”

25 years ago, a UN conference in Durban was meant to fight racism. Instead, it built radical anti-Western and antisemitic ideas directly into our global institutions.
