“I have no more earth to cling to” 🎗️ Yosef Wiener, a Holocaust survivor who lost his grandson Yahav, his granddaughter Hadar, and her husband Itay on October 7th, has passed away. Before his passing, he wrote these inconceivable words: "My name is Yosef Wiener, and I am 97 years old. I was saved from the fire of the Nazi beasts; my entire family was annihilated in that terrible inferno. I was severed from my deep roots, and I erected a monument of basalt stones in their memory. Out of total exhaustion, out of despair, while drowning, I clung to the earth and planted myself in Zion. I married Aviva, and together we raised two magnificent children, Ofer and Nurit. From Ofer and Michal, four grandchildren were born to us in Kfar Aza. From Nurit and Miki, six grandchildren were born to us in Kfar Aza. I had reached the stage of a family tree firmly planted in the soil of the homeland, bearing fruit. But suddenly, from within the fences of evil, October 7th, 2023, arrived. The terrifying sights of fire and dust, the slaughter and horrific murder of innocents reached me once again. My grandson, dearer to me than all, Yahav (of blessed memory), was murdered while protecting his wife, Shaye-Lee, and his one-month-old daughter, Shaya. My granddaughter, dearer to me than all, Hadar (of blessed memory), and her husband Itay (of blessed memory), were murdered while protecting their ten-month-old twins, Roee and Guy. Once again, I am at the end of my strength, in despair, drowning. And I have no more earth to cling to." 💔

In the UAE, antisemitism is a crime, not an opinion,as it has become in Britain and elsewhere. I laid a wreath at a Holocaust memorial in Poland to honor the victims and reaffirm commitment to ensuring such atrocities never happen again.The Islamic regime in Iran and Hezbollah, through their terrorism and proxies in the Middle East and Europe, seek to repeat the Holocaust again. Do not give them a chance to take your children hostage through their propaganda. Do not give them a chance to justify their aggression against the UAE, Bahrain, Israel, and elsewhere. WE MUST STAND TOGETHER and WORK TOGETHER to PREVENT ANOTHER HOLOCAUST. #neveragain Yom HaShoah

The trains have stopped. A Muslim woman and an Orthodox Jew stand in shared silence as sirens ring out for the six million. The imagery of the halted light rail carries immense weight today, echoing the dark history of the camps. This is Israel. #YomHaShoah #HolocaustRemembranceDay #Israel

Yom HaShoah, we remember the Six Million murdered for being Jewish. "I speak to you as a son of an ancient people ... which, throughout much of its history, has endured exile and oppression yet has never given up hope of redemption." (Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, 2005, address to the United Nations)

The Holy Fire was lit at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre 🔥✝️ An incredible and powerful moment at the heart of Orthodox Christian faith. 🕊️

BREAKING: Lebanese MP Camille Chamoun defends Israel: “Nothing in war is humane — but if Israel wanted to annihilate Shiites in Lebanon, it wouldn’t give warnings. We’d be seeing 100,000 casualties, not 2,000.”

If you’re relying on children to man the battlefields and checkpoints, you’ve already lost. Morally and otherwise. 📹: @MEMRIReports

Just days before Passover, the Western Wall stands completely empty, where Jews would normally gather in prayer. Because of Iranian missile attacks on Jerusalem, they can’t. This is unacceptable.

In Israel shelters are also for our 4 legged friends 🐾

I welcome the decision of the Lebanese Foreign Minister to expel the Iranian ambassador-designate from Lebanon. This is a justified and necessary step against the state responsible for violating Lebanon’s sovereignty, for its indirect occupation through Hezbollah, and for dragging it into war. We call on the Lebanese government to take practical and meaningful measures against Hezbollah, whose representatives still serve as ministers within it.

At the CST Annual Dinner last night, we announced that His Majesty King Charles III had accepted our invitation to become a Patron of CST, a powerful recognition of his longstanding support for the Jewish community and the fight against antisemitism.

🚨🇬🇧 NEW: The Israeli Embassy to the UK says “antisemitism is rampant on the streets of London” after ambulances from a Jewish volunteer service were set on fire

Targeting ambulances is a new low even for Antisemites.

An Iranian missile exploded over Jerusalem’s Old City. Its fragments fell on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Armenian Patriarchate, the Jewish Quarter and on the Temple Mount near the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Iranian regime is firing missiles toward Jerusalem’s holy sites, endangering Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. Israel, meanwhile, acts to protect worshippers of all faiths in its capital city.

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

On the last Friday of Ramadan, the Iranian regime launched a missile that struck the Muslim town of Zarzir in Israel. Proof once again: Iran’s terror machine doesn’t care who its missiles hit. Civilians are their targets, whether Jewish, Muslim, or Christian. 🎥 @ariel_oseran

Shocked by the attack on a synagogue near Detroit. We are in contact with the Jewish community and local authorities. Antisemitism must never be allowed to rear its ugly head.

A powerful message from President @Isaac_Herzog to Jewish Communities around the world.

Happy Purim! No war can stop the holiday spirit.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "For 47 years, the Ayatollah regime has called for ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America.’ It has shed our blood, murdered many Americans, and slaughtered its own people. This murderous terror regime must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all of humanity. Our joint action will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands. The time has come for all parts of the people of Iran - Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Baloch, and Ahwazi Arabs - to cast off the yoke of tyranny and bring about a free and peace-seeking Iran. I call on you, citizens of Israel, to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the coming days, during Operation ‘Lion's Roar,’ we will all be required to show patience and great strength of spirit. Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will secure the eternity of Israel."
