Standing with Israel  

We join advocates of humanitarianism and justice worldwide in welcoming the release of hostages from Hamas captivity, and we eagerly await the swift return of all those still being held in Gaza. We mourn for those who have lost their lives and pray their loved ones find comfort, peace, and closure.   

The impact on the physical and mental health of the survivors is significant, and the road to recovery is long. We recognize the profound toll this crisis has had on the people of Israel and the region at large, including our colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science and their families. 

We remain steadfast in our support of Israel and for a future of lasting peace.
