Israel has placed all diplomatic missions around the world on high alert following the massive Hamas attack from Gaza.

The Foreign Ministry directed diplomats to shelter at home unless given special permission from security officials.

The move comes as two Israeli tourists and their local guide were shot dead in Egypt on Sunday.

Meanwhile, New York Mayor Eric Adams said the NYPD is bolstering security in Jewish communities and houses of worship across the city as a precaution.

“We have resources on the ground in Israel gathering intelligence, and we are continually monitoring multiple channels to identify any potential threats, both here and abroad,” Adams said in a statement.

“While there is no credible threat to New York City at this time, our administration is in touch with Jewish leaders across the five boroughs, and we have directed the NYPD to deploy additional resources to Jewish communities and houses of worship citywide to ensure that our communities have the resources they need to make sure everyone feels safe.”

“I do think perhaps there is the possibility that in the next few hours the world will get some good news,” Washington’s top diplomat said.
A Shavuot benefit at Jerusalem’s Tower of David raised funds for HaGal Sheli’s surfing-based rehabilitation programs.
“May this day of faith and renewal bring peace, hope, and strength,” the Foreign Ministry wrote.
The country’s foreign minister called on the E.U. to also adopt sanctions against Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Netanyahu says operational freedom includes in Lebanon, as the American president vows no Tehran deal without dismantling its nuclear program and removing enriched uranium.
“I am relieved that President Trump, the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House, is safe,” said the Israeli premier.
