In Hebrew, יהיה בסדר (yihye beseder) means “it’ll be okay.” Usually said after 20 minutes of discussing how everything is absolutely not okay. Somehow, it’s working for us.

From giving up your spot in line to helping a stranger on the road, everyday Israeli kindness shows that care and support are simply a way of life here. On the International Day of Care and Support, we celebrate our way of looking out for each other. 💙🇮🇱

🇮🇱 is emerging as a global powerhouse in quantum technology! Specialized Israeli startups raised nearly $500 million in 2025, accounting for 9% of global private investment and placing Israel fourth worldwide. With more than 20 companies and a rapidly growing workforce, Israel is helping shape the future of computing. calcalistech.com/ctechnews/a…

Palestinians should be voting in Palestinian Authority elections. But yet again Mahmoud Abbas has postponed them. No elections since 2006. Elections were one of the reform promises made by Mahmoud Abbas and the PA to Western governments. Mahmoud Abbas and the PA: 20 years without elections. 20 years without accountability. 20 years of broken promises.

Time passes, but October 7 will never fade from our memory. After surviving 738 days in Hamas captivity, Evyatar David, abducted from the Nova Music Festival, is reclaiming the life Hamas tried to steal from him. His message is one of extraordinary strength and resilience: “I will continue to dance.” Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱❤️ #UNFORGO7TEN #October7 #NeverForget #Resilience

🇮🇱 As Israel heads to elections this week, we are reminded that our strength lies in our diversity. Proud of my colleague Sahar for her statement at the @UN. Inclusion, equal rights & political participation are essential to building resilient, peaceful societies. ⏬

Thank you @orenbarsky for the clear graph, which leaves no doubt regarding António Guterres's anti-Israel obsession. ​Under his leadership, the UN has not only unjustly harmed Israelis, but has also ignored the suffering and atrocities committed against women and children in Iran, Sudan, Yemen, and many other places. ​António Guterres has damaged the standing of the UN. ​We all deserve an honorable Secretary-General and a UN that fulfills the principles upon which it was founded.

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. 📸 Amir Levy / Stringer / GETTY

The lengths Israelis will go to exercise their democratic rights. 🇮🇱🗳️
Over 60,000 Israelis living abroad are flying home from around the world to vote in the upcoming election. Multimedia reporter Matan Siegel spoke with arriving passengers at Ben Gurion Airport about why casting their ballot was worth the trip and what’s at stake for them. Follow The Times of Israel for more election coverage and stories from across Israel.

Israeli quantum tech just landed a $2.3 BILLION deal. Intel is acquiring Israeli startup Classiq, founded just six years ago and now employing around 150 people. Another massive vote of confidence in 🇮🇱 innovation. ⚛️💰 calcalistech.com/ctechnews/a…

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.

For centuries, Jews were singled out, demonized, and held to standards demanded of no one else. Today, Israel has become the Jew among nations at the United Nations.     Israel is entitled to the same standards of justice as every other nation—no more and no less. Antisemitism does not become acceptable because it is stamped with the seal of the UN. This so-called Commission of Inquiry is a biased, illegitimate inquisition. We reject it. @AmbUNReform
