Hezbollah’s rejection of a ceasefire and continued rocket fire toward northern Israel make one thing clear: this Iranian-backed terrorist organization remains a threat to Israel and regional stability.

Hezbollah must be disarmed, and its terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon must be dismantled.

Did you know Israel has a large cat population? 🐈🇮🇱

From café corners to the ancient streets of the Old City, cats are everywhere in Israel.

The warm climate makes it easier for them to live outdoors year-round, and over time, they’ve become a familiar part of daily life in Israeli cities.

Hezbollah continues to violate the ceasefire through attacks on Israeli civilians, while embedding its terror infrastructure inside civilian life.

Weapons stored in homes. Launchers hidden near schools. Terrorists moved in ambulances. Military compounds operating from hospitals.

These are deliberate tactics that put civilians at risk and turn protected spaces into tools of terror.

Today we join the American people in honoring the heroes who gave everything to defend liberty and democracy. Their selflessness is a beacon of courage for us all. On this Memorial Day, and every day, we remember and salute their sacrifice. May their memory be a blessing. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember Sarah Lynn Milgrim z”l and Yaron Lischinsky z”l, who were murdered one year ago outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.

Sarah and Yaron dedicated their lives to Israel, the Jewish people, and building bridges between communities. One year later, we honor their memory and the light they brought into the world.

May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️

Tiny turtles, big journey. 🐢🇮🇱

Sea turtle nesting season is underway along Israel’s Mediterranean coast. From May through August, female sea turtles come ashore to nest, laying dozens of eggs in the sand before returning to the sea.

To help protect the eggs, rangers and trained volunteers scan the beaches in the early morning, locate new nests, and move many of them to protected incubation areas.

Last year, 558 sea turtle nests were found on Israel’s beaches, a hopeful sign for the season ahead.
