David Roet🇮🇱🟦

I was extremely moved to receive a heartfelt message from my 95-year-old uncle Avraham Roet, a Holocaust survivor from the Netherlands living in Israel. He shared, "At the head of the Gestapo and the Nazis in Holland were Austrians (Hanns Albin Rauter). It's hard to grasp that after 88 years, a grandson of a grandfather who was murdered and a nephew of two aunts who were murdered in Auschwitz is received as a representative of the Jewish state by the Austrian army while the Israeli anthem 'HaTikvah' is played. I am very moved.”

Iran has been using cluster munitions in its attacks on Israel, weapons that disperse dozens of explosive submunitions over a wide area, making them inherently indiscriminate and especially dangerous to civilians, a pattern that underscores the deliberate targeting of populated areas.

Das iranische Regime hat Arad und Dimona verwüstet, indem es gezielt Zivilisten mit Raketen angegriffen hat. Über 100 Menschen wurden verletzt, darunter auch Kinder. Ein eindeutiges Kriegsverbrechen. Reiner Terrorismus.

The Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism.

Walin Chayut, a Thai national working in Israel was killed by an Iranian missile. The Iranian regime indiscriminately targets civilians. May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️

In Wien gehen Menschen für Freiheit im Iran auf die Straße. Israel steht an der Seite der iranischen Bevölkerung. 🇮🇱🙏

Ein Wohnhaus in Ramat Gan wurde in der Nacht durch einen iranischen Angriff mit Streubomben vollständig zerstört. Ein Ehepaar in den 70ern kam ums Leben, als es versuchte, den Schutzraum zu erreichen. Erneut trifft iranischer Beschuss zivile Wohngebiete mit tödlichen Folgen für unschuldige Zivilist:innen.

Eine iranische Rakete explodierte über der Altstadt von Jerusalem. Ihre Trümmer fielen auf die Grabeskirche, das armenische Patriarchat, das jüdische Viertel und auf den Tempelberg in der Nähe der Al-Aqsa-Moschee. Das iranische Regime feuert Raketen auf die heiligen Stätten Jerusalems ab und gefährdet damit Juden, Muslime und Christen gleichermaßen. Israel hingegen ergreift Maßnahmen, um Gläubige aller Glaubensrichtungen in seiner Hauptstadt zu schützen.

Die Verbindung des Terroristen hinter dem Synagogenangriff in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in der vergangenen Woche zur Hisbollah wurde nun bestätigt. Der Angreifer, Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, ist der Bruder des Hisbollah-Kommandeurs Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali, der für Raketenangriffe auf israelische Zivilist:innen verantwortlich ist. Zum Zeitpunkt des Angriffs war eine Vorschule mit Dutzenden Kindern in der Synagoge in Betrieb. nypost.com/2026/03/15/us-…

Israel has submitted its Counter-Memorial to the ICJ, rejecting South Africa’s fabricated and politicized blood libel. Israel is the only country that has been fighting for its existence since its founding almost 78 years ago.​​​​​​​​​​​ Israel faces relentless threats of annihilation from Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other terrorist organizations. Hamas’s charter explicitly calls for the annihilation of Israel - ‘Islam will obliterate it just as it obliterated others before it’ - and Hamas and the Iranian axis actively strive to carry this out. South Africa is attempting to turn this reality on its head, advancing a false and inverted narrative. South Africa, Hamas’s legal mouthpiece, is weaponizing international law as a propaganda spectacle. Following Hamas’s invasion and massacre on 7 October 2023, Israel exercised its right and duty to defend its citizens. Contrary to South Africa’s baseless claims, Israel has affirmed, through words and deeds, that it was targeting Hamas and its accomplices, not Gaza’s civilian population. Israel made extraordinary efforts to mitigate civilian harm, while Hamas deliberately abused its own people as human shields. Israel has also undertaken large-scale efforts to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. As demonstrated in the Counter-Memorial, the Court lacks jurisdiction, and South Africa’s allegations should be dismissed in their entirety. Any contrary determination would undermine the fundamental right of States to defend their citizens against terrorists attacking from civilian population centers.

Another vile attack on a Jewish school in Amsterdam tonight. The same people who attacked the synagogue in Rotterdam yesterday are trying once again to instill fear and hatred. But we will not be intimidated. Jewish life will continue to grow stronger. Antisemitism must be stopped, and those who perpetrated this attack must pay the full price for their crimes

Ambassador @DavidRoet at the UN in Vienna: “It is very unfortunate that our experts could not be here due to the attacks from Iran and Hezbollah. But we continue to work, we continue to live, and we continue to dance.” At Israel’s side event during the #CND69, the Mission shared the story of the Nova festival survivors and the ongoing journey from trauma toward healing and resilience. #NovaSurvivors #DanceAgain #UNVienna #Resilience

"Wir müssen verstehen, dass dies eine Ideologie ist, mit der man nicht verhandeln kann, die man nicht verstehen kann. Sie wollen keine Kompromisse eingehen. Sie greifen absichtlich Zivilisten an. Das ist ein Kriegsverbrechen." Botschafter @DavidRoet in den Salzburger Nachrichten sn.at/politik/weltpo…

Ambassador @DavidRoet on how Hezbollah finances its activities: “Stealing not only the freedom of the Lebanese people, but also their hard-earned money.” #CND69 #UNVienna

Watch DPR @itaytavor counter the outrageous misinformation by the Iranian regime during the #CND69. ⬇️

At the 69th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna, Ambassador @DavidRoet delivered Israel’s opening remarks. Due to recent Iranian attacks targeting civilians in Israel, Israeli experts who were meant to attend could not travel. Ambassador Roet is representing their work at the Commission.

Botschafter @DavidRoet vertritt Israel bei der #CND69. Israel bleibt weiterhin besorgt über die Nutzung von Drogenhandel und organisierter Kriminalität durch die Hisbollah, um ihre terroristischen Aktivitäten zu finanzieren.

Wir sind schockiert über die antisemitische Schmiererei „Juden jagen“. Das ist nicht nur Hass – es ist Antisemitismus und ein Aufruf zur Gewalt. Bildung und klare Gesetze sind entscheidend im Kampf gegen Antisemitismus. Doch wenn Hass in offene Gewaltaufrufe mündet, braucht es auch konsequente Strafverfolgung.

Ambassador @DavidRoet representing Israel at the #CND69 together with DPR @itaytavor and the team of the Permanent Mission of @Israel, despite the constant missile attacks by Iran and its proxy Hezbollah which prevented our expert delegation from traveling. Israel continues to be concerned by Hezbollah’s use of drug trafficking and organized crime networks to finance its terrorism.

The Iranian regime is firing cluster bombs at Israeli civilians. Their deliberate and repeated use against civilians shows that the Iranian terror regime is seeking to maximize civilian deaths and harm.
