Greetings From Israel’s Ambassador to Germany H. E. Ron Prosor

E. Ron Prosor
Israel's Ambassador to Germany

Hamas terrorists carried out an unprecedented massacre on October 7, 2023. Israel will never be the same again. We have the duty, but also the right, to defend our people. We have no other choice.

October 7th was a wake-up call for all of us.

Hamas made no distinction between ultra-Orthodox, Orthodox, religious, secular, reform or conservative, politically right-wing or left-wing Jews, no distinction between Jewish or Muslim Israelis, no distinction between Israeli kibbutzniks, Bedouins and workers from Tanzania, Nepal or Thailand.

They despise every single human life.

Anyone who does not have the ability to condemn the barbaric violence of October 7th, violence that deliberately targeted women, is not our contact.

These people are not our friends.

Israeli women were raped, abused and violated on October 7th. These cruel acts were condemned extremely late by the United Nations, especially by the UN Women's organization, UN Women!

I call on all decent people to call this brutal abuse of Israeli women what it is: a war crime.

Our top priority in Israel is to ensure that October 7th can never be repeated. That is why the Israeli army is fighting Hamas, a ruthless terrorist organization, at this very minute. We will dismantle Hamas and ensure that there is never a threat from Gaza again.

Israel didn't want this war. But Israel will win this war. If we stick together, we are unbeatable. We will bring all the hostages home. We will completely destroy Hamas' leadership and its infrastructure. Both goals, the destruction of Hamas and the release of the hostages, are equally top priorities.

This shows the Jewish and democratic values ​​on which our society was built. A cornerstone of Judaism is the sanctity of life. Many Israelis give everything to protect their state and its citizens, including their lives if necessary.

Every mother, every father, every family must know that the State of Israel will do everything in its power to bring their children home!

That was, is and remains our goal!

Am Israel Chai!
