The recent war has tested our resilience and resolve, reminding us of the fragility of peace and stability in our region. Despite these challenges, Israel remains steadfast in its commitment to its contribution to the international community, and to fostering better relations with its friends.”

Our innovative spirit and entrepreneurial drive have enabled us to weather storms and emerge stronger, showcasing the unwavering determination of the Israeli people to thrive in the face of uncertainty. As we look to the future, we remain committed to fostering partnerships and collaborations that are based on shared values and promote shared progress.”
