The long-delayed removal of Karim Khan from the ICC for serious misconduct has exposed the moral bankruptcy of a corrupt Prosecutor who rushed to file scandalous arrest warrants against Israel’s PM and former DM, in an attempt to deflect from the serious misconduct he feared would be revealed. These were politicized and outrageous arrest warrants against elected leaders of a democracy with an independent legal system defending its citizens against terror. These warrants, issued against a country that is not even a member of the ICC, should never have been sought in the first place and should be revoked immediately.

I am appalled by the horrific antisemitic stabbing attack in New York. Appalled but sadly not surprised. This violence did not happen in a vacuum. Months of incitement against the Jewish state from Mamdani have helped create a climate in which Jews are targeted. Words have consequences. Mamdani must end the incitement, confront antisemitism with resolve, and act now to protect the city’s Jewish community. Enough is enough.

Hezbollah’s terror tunnel network took years to build - and substantial financial backing from Iran to pay for. The goal was clear: prepare for an invasion into Israel. We saw what it looked like on October 7th. Israel will not have jihadi terrorists on our border. Period.

Imagine how long it takes to carve a tunnel network like this into a mountain. Don't be fooled - this is who Hezbollah is - terrorists occupying Lebanon at the behest of Iran in order to attack Israel.

In case you forgot who actually brought war into south Lebanon, let's dig deeper: This is a Hezbollah command and control room in one of the tunnels under the Beaufort Ridge. It outlines locations of Israeli communities. Why do you think they need it?

Kfar Sir, Al-Zaharani, Khirbat a-Dwir, Tufakhta, Mazraat a-Daudia, Tul, Kharouf, Jouaiyya, Kfar Riman, Kfar Fila, Joubaa, Mazraat a-Kamata, Kharet a-Nabbaa. These are all villages in southern Lebanon. From these villages they fire into the yellow zone and into Israel. 147 rockets, 20 UAVs and 9 anti-tank missiles in 24 hours. Hezbollah are terrorists. Hezbollah lies. Hezbollah is Iran’s long arm and they don’t want a cease fire.

𝐇𝐞𝐳𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥. Terrorists lie. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. Hezbollah lies. Iran is using its proxy to extract concessions. That is the modus operandi of the murderous regime in Tehran. Don't be fooled. 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧. Israel seeks to live side by side with its neighbors behind secure and recognized borders. 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬, 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝. More details to come.

Pictured: UAV Attack against Israel Hezbollah’s attacks are an ongoing and direct violation of the ceasefire and of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Instead of disarming and withdrawing from southern Lebanon, Hezbollah continues to attack Israel, while exploiting Lebanese territory as a launching pad for terrorism. Every country must protect its citizens.

In the past 48 hours, Hezbollah killed 5 israelis and injured 12. These are Hezbollah's systematic violations of the ceasefire on 17-18 June alone: • 63 rocket attacks • 7 explosive UAV attacks • 2 IED attacks • 1 missile attack • 1 infiltration attempt by 5 terrorists

Israel remains committed to the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel, Lebanon and the US. If Hezbollah does not violate the agreement, it will be kept. Under all circumstances, Israel retains its right to respond to attacks against it and to thwart threats to its territory, citizens and soldiers.

An official statement from the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest:

“The Truth About Hamas” is difficult to read, and impossible to ignore. “Every night I wake to it and apologize to her,” says Nova survivor Yoni Saadon, who hid beneath the body of a murdered woman to stay alive. The Wall Street Journal displays the Civil Commission’s report - testimonies, forensic evidences and hostages accounts, that the world must neither forget nor deny. wsj.com/opinion/hamas-…

After more than two years of independent investigation, the Civil Commission has released a comprehensive report documenting sexual and gender-based violence committed by Hamas on October 7 and during hostage captivity. The report is not only a historical record — it is a call for recognition, accountability, and justice. Please read and share: civilc.org/silenced-no-mo… #October7 #NeverForget #HumanRights #Justice

Months ago, the Civil Commission approached the New York Times with a report on Hamas’ systematic sexual violence on Oct. 7 and after. The @nytimes said it was not interested. This comprehensive and well-documented report was published this morning by CNN and other international outlets. Aware of the report and its release date, the night before its release the NYT ran a shameful attack on Israel, belittling Hamas’ sexual crimes. That tells you everything about the NYT's agenda.

Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press. In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party. This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist. Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.

The Consulate General of Israel in Toronto and Western Canada is appalled by the two antisemitic pellet gun attacks targeting visibly Jewish residents in North York on the night of May 7. One shooting took place near the Pride of Israel synagogue, another occurred near the Chasdei Bobov synagogue. Individuals were targeted outside these Toronto synagogues for one reason alone: they visibly belonged to the Jewish community. This is another link in a growing chain of antisemitic violence, intimidation, and incitement targeting the Jewish community in Canada since October 7. When Jews are repeatedly attacked in the same neighborhoods, on the same streets, by perpetrators who appear increasingly emboldened, a dangerous reality begins to take shape: an open season on Jews in Canada. We commend the Toronto Police Service for treating these incidents with the seriousness they deserve and for investigating them as suspected hate crimes. Canadian authorities must respond with urgency, determination, and zero tolerance toward the escalating antisemitic violence unfolding across the country.

Let’s set the record straight. Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah: debunking the lies - exposing the facts.

As published by the Board of Peace and the U.S. State Department, the humanitarian activity in the Gaza Strip is managed by the BoP, and this Hamas-led-flotilla is another provocation designed to divert attention from Hamas’s refusal to disarm - and to serve the PR interests of professional provocateurs. The Greek government agreed that the flotilla activists would be disembarked on its shores, and we thank it for that. Saif Abu Keshek, suspected of affiliation with a terrorist organization and Thiago Ávila suspected of illegal activity, will be brought to Israel for questioning. Israel will not allow the breach of the lawful naval blockade on Gaza.
