She survived the nightmare of her brother being held hostage by Hamas. Now Emuna Schreiber is hospitalized after being injured in a Palestinian stone-throwing attack in Samaria. Yet another example of the ongoing wave of Palestinian violence targeting Israelis.

🇮🇱 Hoe werkt de democratie in Israël? In Israël heeft iedere burger van 18 jaar en ouder stemrecht. Met hun stem kiezen Israëliërs welke partij zij steunen. De verkiezingsuitslag bepaalt hoe de 120 zetels in de Knesset, het Israëlische parlement, worden verdeeld, welke partijen in het parlement komen en wie een regering kan vormen. 🗳️ Kiesdrempel: 3,25% van de stemmen. 🏛️ Parlementaire meerderheid: 61 van de 120 zetels.

President @Isaac_Herzog received the diplomatic credentials of the new Ambassador of the Netherlands to Israel, Stella Ronner-Grubačić. President Herzog expressed his deep personal commitment to the historic ties between Israel and the Netherlands and the importance of overcoming current areas of disagreement. The President emphasized his strong opposition to sanctions and boycotts against Israel, noting that dialogue – especially between friends – is key to bridging divides and working toward a more peaceful future in our region. President Herzog also reaffirmed the vital importance of combating all forms of antisemitism and of protecting the safety and well-being of the Dutch Jewish community.

At a moving ceremony in Steenwijk yesterday, 30 individuals were posthumously awarded the Righteous Among the Nations distinction by Yad Vashem. ​During WWII, they risked everything to rescue Jews from the Nazi regime. We honor their incredible courage and unwavering moral compass.

Brett McGurk confirms what many already knew: the @IntlCrimCourt Prosecutor’s sudden request for arrest warrants was never about justice . It was always about political and personal gain for a now-discredited prosecutor.
I knew former ICC prosecutor Karim Khan from his work investigating ISIS crimes against the Yazidis. On May 19, 2024, I helped secure the access he sought in Israel. Israel agreed. The next day, he announced his application for warrants. Here’s the story. From my conversation with @IgnatiusPost on BRINK at @AtlanticCouncil.

De Telegraaf published an excellent piece on last week's deeply moving concert. The incredible performance by Shalva's talented artists captivated the entire audience.

Violence and intimidation will not be tolerated. Four suspects connected to the October 16 incident involving Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine and two suspects linked to the October 17 incident involving foreign diplomats have had their detention extended until October 21. Additional suspects remain in detention, while others have been released under restrictive conditions. All investigations are ongoing.

I strongly condemn the severe acts of violence by Israeli rioters in the area of Taybeh. A police investigation has been opened, and forensic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District are already at the scene collecting evidence. The Foreign Ministry is in contact with the ambassadors of the countries concerned in order to assist the law enforcement authorities, who are working to identify the attackers and bring them to justice. Without detracting from the severity of the incident, it is unfortunate that the visit was not coordinated with the IDF in advance. Such coordination could have helped safeguard the visitors’ security.

Israëlische voetbalfans zijn niet welkom in het Alkmaar van burgemeester Anja Schouten, maar verheerlijking van terreurorganisatie Hamas wordt gefaciliteerd. "Er is iets fundamenteel mis in Nederland", aldus Ambassadeur Zvi @Vapni.
Bravo to the Mayor of Alkmaar. A handful of Israeli fans were barred from the Hapoel Be'er Sheva match today under the guise of "security risks," yet a mob waving signs (in Hebrew) reading "Go Hamas" was allowed right in. ​Hamas is a designated terrorist organization in the Netherlands - the same group responsible for the October 7 atrocities against civilians, the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. ​Something is deeply broken in the Netherlands.

Een onvergetelijke avond van muziek en samenkomen van Israëliërs en Nederlanders 🇮🇱🎶🇳🇱 De band Shalva, bestaande uit muzikanten met een handicap, trad in Nederland op samen met de Rotterdamse band My Breath My Music. Een volle zaal genoot van de prachtige muziek die toont dat geen uitdaging te groot is als je samenwerkt.

According to Minister David van Weel, mayors can prohibit face coverings at protests. ​Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema chose not to—letting people glorifying terror cover their faces without consequences. ​Why is local leadership protecting extremist anonymity over public safety?

Op 27 oktober zijn er verkiezingen in Israël. Vandaag mogen Israëlische diplomaten in het buitenland alvast hun stem uitbrengen. Ambassadeur Zvi @vapni gaf vanochtend vroeg het goede voorbeeld door zijn stem uit te brengen en zo gebruik te maken van zijn democratische recht.

Ambassadeur Zvi Vapni: "Tijdens een gesprek met mij weigerde de burgemeester van Alkmaar Anja Schouten zelfs maar te overwegen om slechts 150 supporters van Hapoel Be'er Sheva toe te laten tot een voetbalwedstrijd in haar stad. Tegelijkertijd gebruikt ze haar bevoegdheden wél om anti-Israëlische demonstraties te faciliteren. Dit wekt sterk de indruk dat het de burgemeester niet werkelijk om veiligheid gaat maar om een anti-Israëlische activistische agenda, of misschien zelfs erger. Schandalig!"
In a conversation with me, mayor of Alkmaar @Amcgschouten refused to even consider letting just 150 Hapoel Beer Sheva supporters attend a football match in her city. But she does use her powers to facilitate anti-Israel demonstrations. It look quite clear the mayor does not genuinely care about security, but about an activist agenda that is anti-Israeli or maybe even worse. Disgraceful behaviour!

It seems there are no limits in Amsterdam: everything is allowed when it comes to glorifying internationally recognised terror groups. This free fall of society won't stop unless action is taken. But the Dutch authorities do nothing. How will this end for the Netherlands? Don't say you were not forewarned ❗❗
Onherkenbaar verpakt, Al-Qassam op het voorhoofd en trots wapperend met de Hezbollah-vlag op De Dam. Verbod op gezichtsbedekking? Verbod op terreurpropaganda? Niet in het Amsterdam van Halsema.
