"We can take inspiration from this week's Torah portion and from the Prime Minister's successful visit to Washington. To, as Balaam said, 'rise like lions' and at times take a midnight hammer in order to turn curses into blessings." Shabbat Shalom 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו

Yesterday, together with Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו and his wife Sara, we gathered at the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. to honor the memory of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lachinsky - whose lives were tragically cut short in May. We paid tribute to two remarkable individuals whose

“This week’s Torah portion is that of Pinchas. It tells a story about a zealot, and the importance of zealotry. But the truth is that our rabbis were very careful about zealotry and warned against excessive zealotry. Today, Israel was accused of being overly zealous in our

As usual, many rushed to blame Israel and embrace a false narrative - without checking the facts. A thorough investigation found that no damage was done to the church in Taibeh, and that the fire was started by Palestinians. Facts matter.

Hundreds of trucks worth of aid is sitting inside Gaza, as we reported days ago. Five separate routes were offered to the UN to distribute this aid, I’m told. Palestinian civilians are in desperate need of this humanitarian support.

The quotes attributed to Minister Eliyahu to the effect that the government of Israel is “rushing towards Gaza being wiped out,” and that, “we don’t have to be concerned about hunger in the Strip,” do not reflect the policy of Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government. The

"We call on the United Nations: Leave your collaborative effort with Hamas." Israel is ready to flood Gaza with aid. The GHF is delivering food to the people of Gaza, not to Hamas. But the UN is slowing us down by insisting on collaborating with Hamas. Hunger in Gaza is on the UN-Hamas

This week’s Torah portion is Matot-Maseh, which discusses the importance of words and truthfulness, and it’s especially poignant during a week when Israelis were falsely accused of burning a church. “People who break the law need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,

Beginning tomorrow, Sunday, July 27, the IDF will unilaterally open additional humanitarian corridors for the purpose of expanding humanitarian aid distribution to the non-combatant population of Gaza. This effort will be accompanied by the parachuting of aid to particularly

As usual,Speaker Mike Johnson is spot on. Hamas exploits and diverts humanitarian aid - that’s a fact. The UN must cooperate to prevent it. Aid is for the people, not for Hamas.

Hey Philippe Lazzarini — still claiming there's no proof of aid theft? Your own UN numbers expose the truth: Between May 19 and July 27, only *12%* of aid trucks that entered Gaza actually reached where they were supposed to go. The rest were intercepted and diverted in Gaza. These

"We are not starving a population. We will never starve a population. We will continue to flood Gaza with aid as we conduct a war to destroy Hamas. Period." See what I told Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room:

The New York Times spread a lie about Israel across the world. And what’d they do when they were caught? Almost a week later, they shared a partial and weak correction with a tiny fraction of their followers. Too little, too late. The New York Times — mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda.

No proof? Armed gunmen are hijacking aid in Gaza — according to the UN’s own data: just 10% of truckloads of aid are NOT being diverted by Hamas. If you don’t think 90% of the food sent by Israel into Gaza going into the hands of Hamas has nothing to do with hungry Gazans,

Thank you Mark R. Levin, for your moral clarity. Hamas is killing its own people the way that tyrants have done throughout history, and European leaders want to reward them. In what moral world are terror and murder rewarded by political leaders?
