It’s a tragic reality that the 21st Century has brought devastation to many Christian communities across the Middle East.
Israel finds itself the only place in the region where the Christian community is growing. Not only growing - flourishing - more than 25% increase in the last 20 years.
Hatred and too often violence is causing the disappearance of Christian communities elsewhere in the region. Take a look.
The Syrian Christian community has been devastated in the past 15 years. Down almost 80%.
Iraq’s Christian community has been devastated the past 15 years. Down more than 85%.
Lebanon’s Christian community has been shrinking for decades. In the past 15 years another 100,000 have fled.
Under the Palestinian Authority & in Gaza under Hamas, Christians have long known the popular graffiti there:
After the Saturday People (the Jews), the Sunday People (the Christians).
They’ve fled for decades. Down another 10% the past 15 years.
Numbers don't lie.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad tortured Arbel Yehoud for 482 days.
They sexually assaulted her almost every single day. Starved her. Broke two of her ribs.
She tried to take her own life to escape them.

Israeli hostage reveals torture and sexual assault nightmare in Gaza
Over a year has passed since the world saw the terrified face of Arbel Yehoud forced to walk through a baying mob of Hamas terrorists to freedom.
The Palestinian Authority is currently advancing illegal land registration procedures in Area C, in violation of the law and existing agreements.
Contrary to misinformation spread by inciting parties, the Israeli government today approved an administrative measure within the fields of civil and property law. This measure is designed to bring order to land registration procedures, enabling a transparent and thorough clarification of rights to resolve legal disputes.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:
"Glad to host the FM of Finland Elina Valtonen at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem. This was the first visit of a Finnish FM in Israel since 2016.
In our meeting, we discussed strengthening bilateral relations and the situation in the Middle East.
I thanked the Minister for Finland's support for the EU decision to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as a terror organization.
We'll continue working together to strengthen relations between our countries. 🇮🇱🇫🇮"

Months ago, the Civil Commission approached the New York Times with a report on Hamas’ systematic sexual violence on Oct. 7 and after. The New York Times 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.
The report itself is not only a historical record — it is a call for recognition, accountability, and justice.

The Civil Commission’s Report on Oct 7th Sexual Violence - Silenced NO More
The most comprehensive investigation to date into the sexual atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7 and during hostage captivity.

The Law for the Prosecution of Those Responsible for the October 7, 2023 Massacre passed its final reading with an overwhelming bipartisan support of 93-0. The Law establishes a carefully tailored procedural framework for the prosecution of those responsible for the deadliest attack on Jewish lives since the Holocaust. The October 7 massacre involved mass murder, sexual violence, and kidnapping on an unprecedented scale, The law includes targeted procedural adjustments to the ordinary criminal process, to ensure that the perpetrators of the attacks are effectively prosecuted while preserving due process guarantees.
The Law does not create new offences, penalties, or retroactive criminal liability, nor does it impose an automatic death sentence. Rather, it authorizes a military court to adjudicate existing offenses under Israeli criminal law, including genocide, terrorism, and wartime offences for some of which capital punishment exists since the early 50’s.
The military court framework stems primarily from logistical and security reasons, while preserving a professional civilian judiciary through the appointment of Supreme and district Court judges. The Law also expressly recognizes the special status of October 7 victims and ensures them a meaningful place within the proceedings.

"Spoke with Ms. Velislava Petrova-Chamova and congratulated her on her appointment as Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
We place great importance on our ties with Bulgaria and want to strengthen them.
I said that the ongoing anti-Israeli efforts by certain hostile governments are an attempt to ruin EU-Israel relations.
I look forward to working with the Foreign Minister and invited her to visit Israel."
