Last week at the @Europarl_EN Plenary in Strasbourg, marking 3 years since Oct 7, we had the honor to host former hostage Omri Miran. The significant show of support by the EP & MEPs was a reminder: the sometimes-silent majority stands up for truth & against terror. #NeverForget

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: I condemn in the strongest possible terms the horrific terrorist attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which claimed the lives of 12 innocent people and injured hundreds more. On behalf of the people of Israel, I extend our deepest condolences to the families of those murdered and our wishes for a full recovery to the injured. Terrorism targets innocent people and seeks to spread fear and instability. It must be confronted with resolve. Israel looks forward to a strong Middle East—one that stands united against threats, protects its people, and builds a future of security, cooperation, and prosperity for all the peoples of our region.

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian corrupt dictator, who has not held elections in over twenty years, has once again deceived the international community. His attempt to drag Israel into this, falsely claiming that Israel imposed obstacles to holding elections, is yet another ridiculous lie designed to evade responsibility and accountability. Just like the other lies about “reforms” that were never implemented — ending payments to terrorists and their families, and stoping incitement in the Palestinian education system. For over twenty years, Abbas has been selling the same thing: lies.

Last evening at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, we marked three years since the horrific October 7th Hamas terror attack. 🕯️ Our deep appreciation goes to European Parliament President @EP_President for her powerful remarks and continued support, and to MEP @hildebentele, Chair of the European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with Israel, for hosting this important commemoration and for her close friendship. We greatly appreciate Commissioner @magnusbrunner for joining us in Strasbourg to honor the memory of the victims of October 7. We are grateful to the many Members of the European Parliament who joined us to pay tribute to the victims and remember those whose lives were lost. A special thank you to our guest of honor, Omri Miran, who was kidnapped on October 7 and held hostage by Hamas for 738 days, for joining us in Strasbourg and sharing his personal testimony. Ambassador @avraham_nir addressed the ceremony, reflecting on the lasting impact of October 7 and the resilience of the Israeli people. Our sincere thanks to our partners at IMPAC and @AJCTAI, and to everyone who joined us in Strasbourg. Copyright: ©️ European Union 2026 - Source : EP

A moving moment at @Europarl_EN tonight as we remember the victims of the 7 October terrorist attack in Israel. We were joined by Omri Miran, who was taken from his loved ones and kept hostage by Hamas terrorists for 738 days. His story is not one of tears, but of resilience. Of the triumph of hope in the bleakest of circumstances. Of the power of family and love to overcome. Of light in the darkness. We remember. 🕯

There are too many names to fit on one screen. Too many families whose lives changed forever. Too many empty chairs. Too many voices we will never hear again. Too many futures that were stolen. Behind every number was a name. Behind every name was a life. A family. A story. A world. As October 7 comes to an end, we return to what matters most: We remember them all and will never forget. May their memory be a blessing. Am Israel Chai. 🇮🇱

6:29am, October 7th. Three years since that horrific morning, we lit a memorial candle at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem. Three years of immense pain, loss, and trauma. We remember all those who were murdered and all who fell in battle. May their memory be a blessing.

October 7 is not propaganda. It is not a narrative. It is a documented reality. This is what happened that day. A day of terror. A day the world must never forget. govextra.gov.il/mda/october-…

October 7, 2023 06:29 Israel At that moment, thousands of Palestinian terrorists crossed into Israel as rockets were fired across the country. Communities were attacked. Families were murdered in their homes. Hundreds were killed at the Nova music festival. 251 people were taken hostage. More than 1,200 people were murdered. Three years later, we remember the morning that changed everything, and every life that was taken. May their memory be a blessing. 🕯️🥀

Shameful, outrageous, but sadly not surprising. The desecration of the exhibition commemorating the victims of October 7 at the European Parliament by radical-left MEP Rima Hassan says above all how little respect she has for the very institution in which she serves. I commend the Members of the European Parliament who immediately condemned this disgraceful act, and thank @EP_President Roberta Metsola for her determination and for making clear that such an offense will be dealt with in the strongest terms.

A clear and unequivocal condemnation. Thank you @EP_President 🙏
The @Europarl_EN is a place where everyone must feel safe, secure and protected. We cannot have actions that could make people fearful of speaking; we cannot have damage to property and we cannot have attempts to intimidate rather than to debate. At a time of rising global antisemitism, we owe it to Europe's Jewish community to ensure that when they look to us, they see that this is their House too.

Dublin-born Thomas Hand’s 8-year-old daughter Emily was kidnapped by Palestinian Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, and held hostage in Gaza for 50 days. “My daughter was kidnapped for 50 days. My ex-wife… was killed. I have a hundred people that I know that were murdered that day.” On the response from his native Ireland: “That was forgotten within two days.” From his old Irish friends? “Silence.”
Emily Hand, then aged eight, was held in Gaza for 50 days after October 7. Her Dublin-born father, Thomas, reveals his disbelief at the reaction in Ireland thetimes.com/world/ireland-w…

The jihadist terrorist wanted to crash the Dubai-TLV flight and murder everyone on board. Instead, he was met by courageous Israeli passengers who fought back - alongside an Indian pilot & Emirati crew determined to save the aircraft. Israelis, Emiratis, Indians standing together against terror. That is the future of our region and the world. 🇮🇱🇦🇪🇮🇳

170 terrorist. 170 terrorists who were killed and passed off as innocent journalists. They served as the propaganda arm for terror, yet Western media outlets quoted them eagerly, without any verification. Journalism is a serious and vital profession. Far too many in the Western media demonstrated zero responsibility and zero respect for their own craft, their readers, or their viewers. It is a disgrace. In their obsession with vilifying Israel, they are destroying credibility and trust built over centuries.
