Three years since the October 7 massacre.
Behind every name is a life, a family, and an empty place that can never be filled.
We remember each and every one. 🕯️
May their memories forever be a blessing.

Three years later, October 7, 2023 is still with us.
Every name. Every empty chair. Every life stolen by Hamas.
We remember. Always.
Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱

On Israel’s Memorial Day, we remember the 25,648 fallen soldiers and 5,313 civilian victims of terrorism.
Behind every number is a life, a family, a story cut short.
We honor their memory and carry their legacy forward. 🕯️
May their memory be a blessing.

We applaud the United States for its successful effort to bring its aircrew home.
The unwavering commitment to leave no one behind reflects a shared value at the heart of the Israel–U.S. alliance. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic disaster in Crans-Montana. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and with the Swiss people during this terribly difficult time.
Israel stands ready to offer any assistance to Switzerland in responding to this disaster. @ignaziocassis 🇮🇱🇨🇭

On behalf of the State of Israel, I send my deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible tragedy in Crans-Montana in Switzerland. We are praying for all those injured and the emergency services operating at the scene.
I extend a message of strong support to President @ParmelinG of the Swiss Confederation, the Swiss government, the people of Switzerland, and all those nations affected by this horrific disaster.

Difficult Viewing:
Hamas - the terror state controlling Gaza - is brutalizing Palestinians as it seeks to reestablish control.
Responsible journalism should shine a light on this.
We call on all media outlets to give appropriate coverage to this threat to regional security.
The ceasefire must be implemented. Hamas must go. Gaza must be demilitarized.
À day to be remembered - rejoicing with the relatives of the hostages who survived and returned, and grieving with the bereaved families of those who perished and of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives to make this happen; A day to feel proud in the resilience and solidarity demonstrated by Israeli society, and thankful for our ironclad friendship and partnership with the United State of America; exactly two years after the terrible Hamas massacre, we can celebrate the Simchat Torah holiday again

More than two years in Hamas captivity - two years of pain, hope & prayers.
Now, with an agreement secured, our hearts are waiting for them to come home. All of them 💛🎗️

🕯️ At this very moment, two years ago, Israel faced the darkest day in its history.
On October 7th, Palestinian Hamas jihadists invaded our land — murdering, burning, and kidnapping innocent men, women, and children.
Two years later, we remember October 7th — we remember the victims, we pray for the return of the hostages still held in Gaza, and we stand united against terror. Hamas must be dismantled to end this war.
We remain committed to our values, now more than ever.
Light will rise over darkness.
An exceptional and brave politician; true friend of Israel; great loss; my heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones

700 days, unimaginable pain, we remember
700 days.
For 700 endless days, 48 hostages have been trapped in Palestinian Hamas’ tunnels - cut off from their families, their lives, their freedom.
700 days of darkness, fear, and unimaginable suffering.
700 days where mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters wake up each morning praying this nightmare will end.
The world cannot look away.
The hostages must come home NOW.

Today marks the end of my term as Israel’s Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
When I arrived in this beautiful country four years ago, I was truly excited to start my new mission. These years, however, have not been easy, and the challenges remain significant.
Incitement and false accusations circulating through the media, academia, and public sphere, are undermining Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas and the other Iranian-backed terrorist proxies seeking its destruction. This has also fueled a dangerous and unprecedented rise in antisemitism, which we are all obliged to address.
Despite these difficulties, I leave encouraged by the many dedicated friends and partners I have come to know; individuals and institutions committed to deepening the important ties and cooperation between our countries in all fields. I am grateful to all of you for your valuable support.
It was a true honor representing Israel in Bern and Vaduz.
My warm wishes to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and best of luck to my successor, Ambassador Tibor Schlosser.
May we all be blessed with peace.
Auf Wiedersehen! Au revoir! Arrivederci! להתראות!

They quietly added an editor’s note, but the lie already went global.
We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.
ALT Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.
