It cannot be emphasized enough. The Palestinian Authority’s financing terrorists’ Pay-for-Slay policy encourages violence.

They must go beyond claiming to have stopped and actually stop. Post-October 7 is a new world. There can be no tolerance for inciting violence.

Congratulations to the Israeli Jiu-Jitsu team on its victories in Thailand.

2 World Champions🥇🥇and other medals.
Simply incredible👌🏽

Hostage survivor, Aviva Siegel, gives evidence at the UN Committee against Torture (Geneva).

“..I lost 10kg in 51 days..”

The real starvation was of hostages by their captors.

Implement the ceasefire agreement. Hamas must disarm. Gaza must demilitarize. Release the 4 remaining hostages’ corpses.

🟡 IDF representatives informed the family of Meny (Menachem) Godard that he has been returned for burial.

According to the information and intelligence available to the IDF:

Meny (Menachem) Godard, 73, was murdered by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization during the Oct. 7 Massacre and his body was abducted into Gaza. He was taken from his home in Kibbutz Be’eri. His death was officially determined on December 8th, 2023.

He leaves behind four children and seven grandchildren. His wife, Ayelet Godard, was also murdered during the attack on the kibbutz.

The IDF expresses deep condolences to the families, continues to make every effort to return all the deceased hostages, and is prepared for the continued implementation of the agreement.

Hamas is required to fulfill its part of the agreement and make the necessary efforts to return all the hostages to their families and to a dignified burial.

This Movember, Israel joins the global effort to promote men’s health, awareness, and early detection.

Throughout November, we raise awareness of men’s physical and mental health issues. A small conversation, a routine check, or a simple gesture of support can save lives.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

"Just spoke with Kazakhstan's FM Yermek Kosherbayev and congratulated him on their historic decision to join the Abraham Accords, brokered by President Trump.

We discussed ways to expand our economic partnership as part of the Accords, including in the fields of water, agriculture and technology. We agreed to work on renewing direct flights.
We also talked about using this historic opportunity to promote interreligious tolerance across our faiths.

I look forward to visiting Kazakhstan soon and invited my counterpart to visit Israel. This is an important step toward greater stability and prosperity in Central Asia and the Middle East.

Together we'll build a better and more peaceful future for our nations! 🇮🇱🇰🇿"

This week, the State of Israel conducted its sixth periodic review before the UN Committee Against Torture, Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment, in accordance with its obligations as a State Party to the Convention.

Israel was represented by a broad delegation including representatives from multiple government ministries in order to conduct a meaningful and professional dialogue with the committee.

Surviving hostages Keith and Aviva Siegel shared with the Committee Members the horrors they endured and witnessed in Hamas captivity. The Committee had the opportunity to hear the brave first hand testimonies of the very definition torture.

Ambassador Daniel Meron: “Israel is committed to uphold the rule of law and to fulfill its obligations under international law, even in the face of uncharted challenges.”

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"I spoke with Jamaica’s FM Kamina J. Smith about the hurricane Melissa that struck the country.

We discussed the work of the delegation of Israeli doctors and nurses dispatched to assist in the aftermath of the storm.

I updated her that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will donate ultrasound devices to hospitals in Jamaica to enable rapid medical response.

Israel will continue to provide assistance and share its expertise with countries around the world facing emergency situations.

Israel and Jamaica have long-standing relations, and we stand by Jamaica in its time of need. 🇮🇱🇯🇲"

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Spoke with my friend Lithuanian FM Kestutis Budris.

I updated him on the return of our dead hostage Manny Godard. I also told him that the PA is continuing its payments to terrorists and their families through a new payment system. Abbas's dismissal of his Finance Minister won't absolve him and the PA of their complicity.
We appreciate Lithuania's friendship and I invited my counterpart to come visit Israel soon. 🇮🇱🇱🇹"

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar:

"Iran openly admits to kidnapping a Marshall Islands-flagged vessel.

Just like their protégés, the Houthis, Iran is acting as a pirate state and terrorizing naval routes.

Iran is a threat not only to the Middle East but to world peace and global trade.

I call on the free world to immediately declare the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization."

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Israel is facing an extraordinary phenomenon: terrorist states (terrorist organizations that control territory).

Three of them are still fighting it with the aim of destroying it: Hamas from Gaza, Hezbollah from Lebanon, and the Houthis from Yemen.

Israel will not agree to the establishment of a Palestinian terrorist state in the heart of the Land of Israel, at zero distance from all its population centers and with topographic control over them."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"Gaza will be demilitarized, and Hamas will be disarmed. Either this will happen the easy way or it will happen the hard way. This is what I said, and this is what President Trump also said.

Regarding a Palestinian state: Our opposition to a Palestinian state in any territory west of the Jordan River, this opposition is existing, valid, and has not changed one bit."

Dror Or was murdered by Hamas in his home on October 7, 2023. Terrorists set his house on fire. Hamas abducted his body into Gaza.

His wife, Yonat, was also murdered, her body abandoned. His children Noam & Alma were kidnapped and later released. A 3rd child, Yahli, survived because he was not home.

Hamas still holds Dror’s body in contravention of international law. Let Dror go. Allow him the funeral he deserves.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Certain people are quick to suggest that we establish a Palestinian terrorist state in the heart of our small country, 2 kilometers from where we are sitting right now."

Ran Gvili left hospital on October 7, 2023 to rush to the defence of civilians under attack. He was scheduled for surgery at the time.

He saved dozens fleeing the Nova festival and fought to protect Kibbutz Alumim until killed by Hamas terrorists. His body was kidnapped into Gaza.

Ran’s bravery was instinctive, the courage of a young officer who could not imagine letting others face danger without his coming to their defence.

Hamas still holds Ran's body in contravention of international law. Let Ran go. Allow him the funeral he deserves.

The story of the Star of David is rooted in the Land of Israel yet also stretches across continents and centuries. A symbol that the people of Israel carried through exile, diaspora and back to the modern State of Israel.

At the ANU Museum, the Star of David appears throughout, telling its story, carrying identity and values wherever it went.
