Pained by these images on the sidelines of the release of Or, Ohad and Eli, reminded of the repeated questions by journalists if this war isnโt just creating another generation of Hamas supporters. This conflict will never be over as long as Hamas have the power to indoctrinate the children of Gaza that the Jews have no place in the Holy Land. What is needed: โ๏ธDeradicalization โ๏ธDisarmament โ๏ธReeducation Everything else is just a deferral of the problem to another place or another time.

Or Levy, 34 years old from Givatayim, was kidnapped from the Nova Festival, he was enjoying the festival with his wife, Einav, who was murdered in the attack. The couple had been at the party for only nine minutes before the massacre began. Or was abducted from the a shelter where his wife was murdered. The two met when Or was in high school. After many years of friendship, they fell in love, got married, and had their firstborn son, Almog. Almog celebrated his third birthday without his parents and has been being raised by his grandparents.
Almog Levy was 2 years old when his mum was murdered and his dad was abducted by Hamas on October 7th. Heโs been asking about them ever since. Today, Almog is 3.5, and Or, his dad is coming back home. Almog and some of his paintings are waiting for him.

Watching Hamasืณ grotesque parade of the hostages Ohad Ben Ami, Or Levi and Eli Sharabi. As they force them speak to the crowd before their release. What would you be willing to say as you see the @ICRC vehicles to secure your release? Images of Eli Sharabi moments before the hand over, and before being abducted by Hamas. Eliโs wife, British born, Lianne and daughters Noiya and Yahel were murdered when Hamas stormed their home in Kibbutz Be'eri

Want to know whatโs going on in Syria? ๐
I just left #Syria after an extraordinary trip โ one that until recently I never thought Iโd make again. From #Aleppo, to #Idlib, #Latakia, #Tartus, #Salamiya, #Suwayda & #Damascus. So many takeaways, but most of all: it's free & everyone is overjoyed. A ๐งต:

I agree with a lot of what @SigridKaag says in this segment. However, the failure of the UN throughout the war, and still today, to identify Hamas as THE sticking point of progress for the people of Gaza, created the space for Trumps โplanโ.
Today, I spoke with @SigridKaag about President Donald Trumpโs plan to create a โRiviera of the Middle East.โ Hereโs what she thinks would be a more pragmatic solution for the future of Gaza.

Sadly this is the official position among so many Palestinian spokespeople across their political spectrum. They see no fault, no remorse, and show no humanity. This is why @afalkhatib is such a unique voice. If you canโt identify a problem, youโre never going to find the solution.

This wouldโve been a perfect moment for @Ron_Prosor to sing. Iโm thinking โLeaving on a Jet Planeโ.
"We hope that the UN system will be able to undergo structural reforms to end the politicization of human rights. Until then, Israel feels compelled to not engage with the Human Rights Council": watch the statement of @AmbMeron on Israel's withdrawal from the HRC below.

An honor to be welcomed by @Isaac_Herzog
President @Isaac_Herzog met with a @DGB_news delegation of trade union leaders from Germany, together with @Histadruthadash Chairman, Arnon Bar-David. President Herzog thanked them for their continued support and solidarity with the Israeli people, and stressed the ongoing importance of cooperation in trade, economy, and all fields.

Hey Jon, long time. Two intertwined questions. First of all, and most importantly, Hamas' support stems from the false prevailing narrative that the State of Israel and the Jewish return to the historic homeland is a temporary endeavor and, therefore, Israel can be (must be?) defeated and expelled. Hamas (and others) has cultivated this theme and public sentiment. Secondly, of course Israeli leaders from across the political spectrum have failed to place an alternate vision of peace. But I believe this is secondary as it takes two to tango. In Israel today, to talk of a two-state solution is akin to saying let's set the date for the next "October 7".

Despite the immense pain we have endured sine October 7, the words of Israel's declaration of independence are still relevant today: "WE EXTEND our hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land."
Interesting poll on The Trump Effect on Israeli public opinion: Which policy would you want Trump to pursue? A regional deal of normalization with Arab states (inc Saudi) and accepting Palestinian state - 60% of Israelis Full annexation of the West Bank - 31%
