For Israelis, hope for peace and skepticism about the US-Iran deal can exist at the same time. Both are shaped by decades of experience

Global trade routes are no longer something we can take for granted.

At our recent Diplomatic Salon, hosted together with the Embassy of Panama, diplomats, business leaders, academics, and civil society representatives came together to discuss how countries navigate an increasingly fragmented world and why strategic connectivity matters more than ever.

From the Panama Canal and the Strait of Hormuz to supply chains, ports, communications infrastructure, and emerging trade corridors, the conversation explored how nations like Panama and Israel can contribute to stability, and growth amid growing global uncertainty.

Here are some of the key insights shared by our speakers.

Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, chose to publish the words “Heil Hitler.”

These are not random words. They are the slogan of a regime responsible for the murder of six million Jews and millions of other victims.

This is not criticism of Israel. It is not a debate about the Middle East. It is antisemitism, and he is no longer even trying to hide it.

Israeli tourists were denied accommodation at a hotel in Germany because they were Jewish. Yes, read that again. In 2026, Jews are being denied access to public spaces in Germany.

We applaud Booking for removing the hotel from its platform and urge the company to continue enforcing a zero tolerance policy toward antisemitism.

It is frustrating to have to say this in 2026, but there should be no place for businesses that make Jew hatred part of their policy.

This weekend, more than 50,000 people filled the streets of New York for the Israel Day Parade.

No riots. No vandalism. No calls for violence. No terrorist flags.

Just people celebrating their identity, their heritage, and their connection to Israel.

At a time when anti-Israel demonstrations too often translate into intimidation, glorification of terror, and antisemitic rhetoric, the contrast could not be clearer.

We will not apologize for our pride. We will not hide our connection to Israel.

And we certainly will not surrender the streets to those who spread hate in its name.

Running to shelters should never become normal for any child. But somehow, when it comes to Israeli kids, the world has nothing to say.

This is the reality for children in Northern Israel, who have lived under nonstop rocket, missile, and drone fire from Hezbollah for more than two years now.

Nothing about this is okay.

The “Silenced No More” report documents the sexual violence committed against Israelis on October 7 and in captivity. It is based on more than 430 testimonies, over 10,000 photos and video segments, and 1,800+ hours of footage gathered during a two year investigation.

The report concludes that sexual violence was not isolated, but systematic and used as part of the terror itself.

It is hard to read and process.

But what is truly infuriating is that only now, after this amount of evidence, some people are finally willing to believe Israeli men and women.

This report should not have been necessary for people to care. But at least now, it becomes harder to deny, minimize, or look away.

It is not luck or coincidence that Israel has finished in Eurovision’s top 5 for four consecutive years. In completely different moments, in war and in peace, and despite all the noise in recent years, , , , and reached the top because they brought real talent to the stage.

A streak like this comes from hard work, resilience, and the refusal to settle for anything less than excellence.

Pure Israeli spirit 🇮🇱
