The legacy of WWII German occupation in #Estonia includes the tragic history of concentration camps & Jewish persecution. As we honor the 80th anniversary of the Klooga camp victims, we remember the atrocities & stand in solidarity with all #Holocaust victims. #NeverForget

I condemn Iran’s brutal wave of missile attacks against #Israel tonight. Iran feeds terror not only in the Middle-East but also in #Ukraine. This must stop.

Today, we remember a deeply tragic day in history. A year ago, Hamas unleashed vicious, unjustified terrorism on innocent Israeli civilians. My thoughts are with the victims & their families. I urge the immediate, unconditional release of hostages & support lasting peace efforts.

Tulin äsja terrorismivastase võitluse konverentsilt. Keset konverentsi hakkasid terroristid meid rakettidega ründama. Laval oli parasjagu ÜRO Lähis-Ida rahuprotsessi erikoordinaator, kes ei lasknud end sireenidest häirida. Selline on olukord Iisraelis 7. 10

I condemn the violence targeting fans from #Israel following a football match in #Amsterdam #Netherlands. There is no place for antisemitism in #Europe. Everyone regardless of their ethnicity or religion has the right to feel safe & I support all efforts in ensuring this.

#Estonia takes note of the arrest warrants of the Int'l Criminal Court which 🇪🇪 is a state party to. Upholding the international order based on international law and rules is important to us. At the same time, we are sceptical they'll contribute to a lasting peace in the Middle East.

I welcome the ceasefire & hostage release agreement between #Israel & Hamas mediated by #Qatar, #USA & #Egypt. I hope that it will pave the way to the release of all the hostages, delivering critical humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza & reaching a lasting peace in the region.

Moving testimony from Holocaust survivor Ms. Halina Birenbaum to commemorate Int. Holocaust Remembrance Day. The quote of the day comes from her son: the only thing we have learned from the history is that we have learned nothing from the history.

Today I held an annual foreign policy speech in front of Riigikogu, outlining the principles of Estonia's foreign policy & the way forward. My main message: it is not the aggressor’s defeat we should fear – instead, we should fear his success. 🧵

Started my visit to Israel with meeting Office of the President of Israel יצחק הרצוג Isaac Herzog. Talked about bilateral relations, security situation in the region & conflict resolution. Lasting peace requires commitment from everyone. I call for urgent release of all the hostages!

Not every meeting you a get a book in Estonian. Natan Sharansky, a dissident persecuted by the Soviet regime, showed how to fight injustice while remaining true to his beliefs. We need more heroes like him. Today we talked about Ukraine and the responsibilities of the free world

I am truly appalled by yesterday’s attack in Washington, DC, which killed two Israeli Embassy staff members outside an American Jewish Committee event. I condemn this heinous act of antisemitic violence in the strongest possible terms. My heart goes out to the families & loved ones of the

Yesterday, an Estonian citizen was safely evacuated from Israel & is now en route back home. This marks a historic first in 🇪🇪🇺🇦 evacuation cooperation. Huge thank you to Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 & all the Ukrainian diplomats in Israel for your incredible support in making this possible.
