Today I visited the Gvili family home in Meitar, where Ran Gvili lived before he headed out on Oct 7, despite his broken shoulder, to save lives and fight terrorists. I told Talik, his courageous mother, that we will continue to push for his return. The Trump plan must be implemented.

Proud to once again partner with the Solidarity Human Rights Film Festival, which opened last night in Tel Aviv. Human rights are universal and apply everywhere, including in this region where such rights face profound challenges. We'll always stand with defenders of human rights.

Honoured to join Ukrainian Deputy PM Taras Kachka and Ukranian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk for the unveiling of the Holodomor memorial in Jerusalem. We remember the millions who perished in the man-made famine of 1932-33. The EU will continue to stand with Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

I joined Herzliya Mayor Yariv Fisher for the cornerstone laying of The Congress, a new hub for conferences, sports and other events. As a resident of Herzliya, I'm looking forward to seeing this venue improve community life and bring people together from Israel, Europe and beyond.

I condemn yesterday’s terror attack in the West Bank that killed one person and wounded three. My condolences to the families of the victims, and wishes for a speedy recovery to the wounded. The violence in the West Bank must stop.

Timely and constructive discussion with Avi Balashnikov, Nili Shalev and their teams at the Israel Export Institute. We highlighted the importance of strong EU–Israel economic relations; I welcomed the Institute’s offer to continue working closely with the EU Delegation.

The day we all waited for. I am deeply moved to see the Israeli hostages finally returning home.
We commend all parties whose tireless diplomatic efforts made this possible. May this mark the beginning of a new chapter for Israel, the region and its people.

On behalf of the EU and its member states, today I laid a wreath at the Nova festival site in memory of the victims of the October 7 massacre. We heard moving stories of bravery and resilience, including from paramedic Oshrit Hadad who courageously saved lives while under fire >

Marking European Researcher’s Night at @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social. The presence of children and families eager to learn stands in sharp contrast to the destruction caused by the Iranian attack earlier this year. Science & research for the benefit of humanity must prevail.
