Today Israel approved an unprecedented & historic bill which will reduce carbon emissions by at least 85% by 2050 & help tackle the global climate crisis.
A number of groundbreaking steps will be taken on a national level in order to reach these goals by 2050 including:
📌A 71% reduction in municipal waste by 2030
📌Purchasing green city busses (beginning in 2026)
📌Reducing carbon emissions from electricity by 30% (by 2030)
The Israeli government will work with local municipalities, the private sector, multiple ministries, NGOs & leading experts in the field to reach these goals.
We 🇮🇱 are proud to promote the environmental agenda outlined during the Paris Climate Conference in 2015 & to work with OECD countries and the local & global community to create a sustainable future for us all.

Findings like these coins from the Jewish Great Revolt in 67-68 CE & the Bar Kochba Revolt are a small reminder of our long history in the Land of Israel.
Following civil unrest & political instability in Ethiopia, putting the Jewish community at risk, on May 24-25, 1991, Israel airlifted 14,300 Ethiopian Jews to Israel in a special mission titled #OperationSolomon.

Israel chartered 35 aircrafts, including Israeli Air Force C-130s, in a clandestine mission to rescue 14,000+ Ethiopian Jews and safely bring them to Israel within 36 hours.
In order to rescue as many people as possible, the seats of the planes were removed.
