US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield visits the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem, during the busy first day of her trip to Israel.
“I was deeply moved by my first visit to Yad Vashem. Thank you to all those involved in creating this institution devoted to Holocaust remembrance and education and to combating Holocaust denial and distortion,” she tweets after the trip.
Thomas-Greenfield also met with President Isaac Herzog, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, and Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli at the Knesset.
“Encouraged to hear about the tangible progress of the Abraham Accords during my meeting with Yair Lapid. The United States will continue to encourage countries in the region to normalize relations and expand cooperation with Israel, including at the UN,” she posted after her meeting with the foreign minister.
Following her meeting with Michaeli, Thomas-Greenfield tweeted: “Like @POTUS, [Michaeli] knows infrastructure is a national security issue. And I applaud her work to advance gender equality in all areas of society.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
