Ambassador Yechiel (Michael) Leiter

We fight for life - on the battlefield and at the negotiation table. That’s the lesson from this week’s Torah portion: life is the purest ideal we can achieve. Shabbat shalom 🕯️🕯️

Israeli Ambassador @yechielleiter to the U.S. Tells Mr. Kurd: “No Place for Hezbollah in Lebanon” @SenMarcoRubio @USAmbUN @NadaHamadeh @LebEmbassyUS #mrkurd

Thank you @yechielleiter for pushing back against the egregious and utterly one-sided questioning on Lebanon by Sky's US correspondent @Stone_SkyNews.

Tremendous diplomacy.

"We certainly don’t want the French anywhere near these negotiations; we’d like to keep them as far away as possible from pretty much everything" says Israeli Ambassador @yechielleiter to @Mike_Wagenheim, on the negotiations with Lebanon.

Israeli Ambassador to U.S.: "We will not allow a terror organization to continually fire missiles into our population centers," after his meeting with Rubio and the Lebanese Ambassador, in Washington D.C..

BREAKING: After a historic meeting between Lebanese and Israeli envoys, Israel’s ambassador to Washington says: “We discovered today that Lebanon and Israel are on the same side of the equation.” A new Middle East is on the horizon.

Israel’s Ambassador on talks with Lebanon: “We discovered today that we're on the same side of the equation. That's the most positive thing we could have come away with.”

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Leiter: "We discovered today that Lebanon and Israel are on the same side of the equation. We are both united in liberating Lebanon from an occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah. Lebanon is under their occupation and we are suffering from their constant barrages of missiles and terror attacks trying to cross our border."

“We discovered today that we [Israel + Lebanon] are on the same side of the equation” An alliance between Israel and Lebanon to end the proxy terror group occupying southern Lebanon and restore peace would be a major step for the entire region.

Putting this on repeat because a) it’s hilarious b) it’s true c) it’s applicable to almost any national security, foreign policy issue

Lessons learned!

Looking good.  Time will tell.

Israeli Amb to the U.S. Leiter: "We discovered today that Lebanon and Israel are on the same side of the equation. We are both united in liberating Lebanon from an occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah.“

Israel and Lebanon are on the same side: committed to removing the threat of Hezbollah.

🎥 WATCH: @yechielleiter straightens out the crooked narratives by highlighting the simple truth that both Israel and Lebanon are more than aware that Hezbollah terrorists fire missiles at Israeli civilian areas, often indiscriminately, yet Israel gets accused of just this — by the media — when responding in defense. (Specifically, news outlets like RT and Al Jazeera) That simply isn’t true. Terrorists embed themselves in civilian infrastructure and tunnels which is precisely why they are an illegitimate terror organization. Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

“We discovered today that we’re both on the same side of the equation… we’re both united in liberating Lebanon from the occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah” Israeli Amb. @yechielleiter after historic meeting today with Lebanese Amb.

We have the courage to pursue peace through strength, and to work tirelessly for tranquility and prosperity for all. At the negotiations table today, I commended President Joseph Aoun and his government for not allowing itself to be held hostage to the threats of Hezbollah’s leader. Naim Kassem and Hezbollah belong to the past; we are here for the future. Above all, safeguarding the security of Israeli citizens along the northern border remains our supreme objective and top priority. Photo credit: Shmulik Almany

In Israel we commemorate the Holocaust on the date of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and that is our story in a nutshell. Even in the face of absolute evil - we rose up and fought. We take this day to remember and honor the 6 million Jews whose lives were lost in the Genocide of our people, and we thank God that the state of Israel was established - not because, but in spite of these atrocities. And we say, now louder than ever - #NeverAgain 🕯️

Don’t be fooled: Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that also has a political party; it’s not a political party that also has a terrorist wing. Watch my full interview with @margbrennan on @FaceTheNation👇🏻 youtu.be/zD02mnWeO0w?si…
