Independence Day Message from H.E. Reuven Azar Ambassador of the State of Israel to India and Non-Resident Ambassador to Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Happy 78 Independence Day to the people of Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰🇮🇱 On this special day, I extend my warmest greeting to all Sri Lankans at home and around the world. Independence is more than a moment in history. It is a living commitment to unity, resilience, and hope. Over the years, both Sri Lanka and Israel have overcome many challenges. This spirit of perseverance and determination is something that connects our nations and peoples and inspires us to keep moving forward. Israel deeply values its friendship with Sri Lanka. Our relationship is built on mutual respect, warm ties between our peoples, and growing cooperation in many fields. As you celebrate this important day, I wish Sri Lanka continued peace, prosperity, and success.

A year after the ceasefire, Palestinian Hamas still refuses to disarm. It steals aid, intimidates Gazans and plans more attacks on Israel. Hamas cares more about holding on to its weapons and power than rebuilding people’s lives. Gaza will never have a real future as long as Hamas holds the people of Gaza hostage.

Three years after October 7, over 1,000 Christians from around the world came to the Nova massacre site. Among them was Pastor Vincent Gonzales, who shared a powerful message about the extraordinary resilience of the Israeli people. Despite the heartbreak and loss, the spirit of Israel remains unbroken. Am Yisrael Chai. ✝️🇮🇱❤️ #UNFORGO7TEN #ChristiansInIsrael #StandWithIsrael

Replying to @GyanJaraHatke
@GyanJaraHatke I didn’t see your message. The video of this so called rabbi is indeed shameful, an abomination. Unfortunately there are lots of people saying terrible things on the web. Usually I try to avoid interacting with such idiots. They don’t represent me or Israeli society, who loves India.
This was the message i sent in DM to me Mr. .@ReuvenAzar the ambassador of Israel to India. But no reaction and no public apology. Seems like he doesn’t care. Now it’s our responsibility to make them care 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Sir, this is absolutely unacceptable. As a right-wing Hindu social media influencer, I have always extended my unconditional support to Israel whenever Israel needed it. But if this kind of racism, hatred, and disrespect is what we receive in return, then, for the sake of our religion and community, we must seriously reconsider our position as influencers. This is not freedom of speech. This is pure racism and hatred. And if this individual does not face appropriate consequences for his actions, I will make sure this video reaches every Hindu across India. Support and respect must go both ways.

Arab citizens of Israel voted 10 times in parliamentary elections since 2006. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority has denied Palestinians the right to vote for 20 years. Yet there’s no outrage. No headlines. Just silence. 2006 සිට ඊශ්‍රායලයේ අරාබි පුරවැසියන් පාර්ලිමේන්තු මැතිවරණ 10 කදී ඡන්දය ප්‍රකාශ කර ඇත. මේ අතර, පලස්තීන අධිකාරිය වසර 20 ක් තිස්සේ පලස්තීනුවන්ට ඡන්දය ප්‍රකාශ කිරීමේ අයිතිය ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කර ඇත. එහෙත් ජාත්‍යන්තරය තුළ කිසිදු කම්පනයක් හෝ විරෝධයක් නැත. කිසිදු ප්‍රවෘත්ති සිරස්තලයක් නැත. ඇත්තේ නිහඬතාවය පමණි. 2006-ஆம் ஆண்டு முதல், இஸ்ரேலில் உள்ள அரபு குடிமக்கள் நாடாளுமன்றத் தேர்தல்களில் 10 முறை வாக்களித்துள்ளனர். அதே வேளையில், பாலஸ்தீன அதிகார அமைப்பு கடந்த 20 ஆண்டுகளாக பாலஸ்தீனியர்களுக்கு வாக்களிக்கும் உரிமையை மறுத்து வருகிறது. இருப்பினும், இதைப் பற்றி எந்தக் கொந்தளிப்பும் இல்லை; செய்திகளில் எந்தக் குறிப்பும் இல்லை; வெறும் மௌனம் மட்டுமே நிலவுகிறது. 📸 Amir Levy / Stringer / GETTY

A first for Israel, and new hope for people living with epilepsy. At Clalit-Beilinson Hospital, a 42-year-old woman became the first patient in Israel to receive the EASEE system, an innovative brain stimulation treatment that treats epilepsy without penetrating brain tissue. Led by Dr. Idit Tamir and Prof. Felix Benninger, this milestone in Israeli medicine offers new possibilities for patients whose seizures do not respond to medication and who cannot undergo surgery.

How does democracy work in Israel? Every vote plays a part in shaping the Knesset, Israel's 120-member parliament. Here's a closer look at Israel's electoral system, from the ballot box to the distribution of seats. 🇮🇱 ඊශ්‍රායලය තුළ ප්‍රජාතන්ත්‍රවාදය ක්‍රියාත්මක වන්නේ කෙසේද ? සෑම ඡන්දයක්ම සභිකයන් 120 ක් පාර්ලිමේන්තුව වෙත යැවීම සදහා තීරණාත්මක කාර්යභාරයක් සිදු කරයි. මේ ඊශ්‍රායල මැතිවරණ ක්‍රමය පිළිබඳ සටහනකි. ඡන්ද පෙට්ටියේ සිට ආසන බෙදීම දක්වා සිදුවන්නේ කෙසේදැයි විමසා බලමු. 🇮🇱 இஸ்ரேலில் ஜனநாயகம் எவ்வாறு செயல்படுகிறது? ஒவ்வொரு வாக்கும் இஸ்ரேலின் 120 உறுப்பினர்களைக் கொண்ட நாடாளுமன்றமான 'நெசெட்' (Knesset)-ஐ வடிவமைப்பதில் முக்கியப் பங்கு வகிக்கிறது. வாக்குப்பதிவு முதல் இட ஒதுக்கீடு வரை, இஸ்ரேலின் தேர்தல் முறை குறித்த ஒரு விரிவான பார்வை இதோ. 🇮🇱 #Israel #IsraelinSrilanka #Democracy #IsraelElection

Israel offers its profound condolences to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as the families of the victims, following the tragic terrorist attack at a church in Karak. Targeting a place of worship and murdering innocent believers constitutes a severe assault on freedom of religion. We wish a full and speedy recovery to the wounded and reiterate our solidarity with Jordan in the struggle against terrorism and extremism.
