Security measures at Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem’s government district on Givat Ram were increased on Thursday after a suspicious envelope was received.

Security forces took the envelope for investigation, reports said, adding that “the incident has ended.”

In June, a package containing a suspicious powder was sent to the office of Israeli Health Minister Uriel Bosso. He was examined by medics and found not to be showing any symptoms after opening the package.

The envelope was subsequently put in a sealed container and sent for testing at the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona.

In January 2023, and again in February of this year, suspicious envelopes were discovered at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, leading to security guards and forensic teams being rushed to the scene.

“Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost—taking out three of yours.”
Crowds thronged the plaza at Judaism’s second-holiest site, with the event broadcast on giant screens along the Old City walls.
“Voters in this district now finally have a choice of a true defender of Israel with a record of results, who’s not beholden to party leadership that is increasingly out of whack with what most of us feel,” said Scott Singer, mayor of Boca Raton.
Israel’s national security minister said his party aims to facilitate the voluntary relocation of about 1.86 million Gazans within seven years.
