The Jewish Agency for Israel's Board of Governors met in Jerusalem between February 25-27 in the shadow of the Iron Swords War, with about 200 Jewish community leaders from around the world participating in the largest such gathering since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.

The meeting was chaired by Jewish Agency Chairman of the Executive, Maj. Gen. (res.) Doron Almog, Chairman of the Board of Governors Mark Wilf and organization's CEO Amira Ahronoviz.

Members visited Gaza border communities, including Kibbutz Beeri, Nir Oz and Kfar Gaza as well as the towns of Sderot, Ofakim and Ashkelon. They witnessed the horrors of the massacre and hear first-hand testimonies from survivors so that they can more effectively influence global public opinion upon their return home. They also met with the heads of the municipalities and local authorities to learn about the immediate and long-term needs of the rehabilitation process.

The "Board of Governors meeting is an expression of the unconditional love global Jewish communities have for the State of Israel," Almog said. "Their arrival at this difficult time is a moving show of solidarity. Since Oct. 7 the Jews worldwide have been supporting, donating and bearing the horrific pain together with us. The Jewish communities' unprecedented mobilization in support of Israel is an important pillar in our restoration and in strengthening the resilience of the only Jewish state in the world, and Israeli society as a whole. Their hugs and support are a bright spot for us in these difficult and painful days. I thank them from the bottom of my heart."
