נזכור את כולם. We will remember everyone. Joined by the ambassadors of EU members states in Israel, I visited the site of the Nova festival massacre and laid a wreath in memory of 1,200 Israeli men, women and children who were brutally murdered on October 7. יהא זכרם ברוך.

Finland comdemns Iran's missile attack on Israel in the strongest terms. Iran’s destabilising actions threaten peace in the Middle East. We call on all parties to show utmost restraint.

On October 7th, we commemorate the lives lost in the terror attacks by Hamas. 1200 were murdered and 251 taken hostage in the Gaza border communities and the Nova site. We demand the immediate release of the remaining 101 hostages and take part in the sorrow of the families.

I warmly welcome the Gaza ceasefire and the release of the hostages.  The deal will bring relief to the entire region and humanitarian aid to the people in need. We hope for full implementation and take this as a first step towards a peaceful settlement of the conlifct.

Koskettava muistotilaisuus Auschwitzissa. Tänään on kulunut 80 vuotta siitä, kun keskitys- ja tuhoamisleiri vapautettiin. Kunniavieraina paikalla oli viitisenkymmentä leiriltä selviytynyttä. Laskimme Suzannen kanssa kynttilät uhrien muistolle. Muistot elävät.

A touching commemoration in Auschwitz. Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration and extermination camp. Suzanne and I placed candles to commemorate the victims. Their memory will live on.

Lähi-idässä jo 19 kuukautta jatkunut sota on aiheuttanut valtavaa inhimillistä kärsimystä. Gazassa on menehtynyt yli 52 000 ihmistä, joista suurin osa on siviilejä ja yli 15 000 lapsia. Gazassa ei ole yhtäkään lasta, joka voisi elää ilman pelkoa.  Eilen Israelin iskuissa

Happy Flag Day of the Finnish Defence Forces! #lippujuhlanpäivä
