To all our friends and colleagues,
On October 7th, Israel endured a brutal and inhumane attack by murderous jihadist organizations. They massacred hundreds of innocent men, women, and children, with 150 more abducted. At this moment, we mourn the loss of at least 1,300 Israelis, with over 3,000 wounded. Thousands of missiles continue to rain down on our cities, putting innocent lives in constant jeopardy.
In response, the IDF launched a counterattack in Gaza against these despicable terrorists who have lost all sense of humanity. Many of our colleagues in the Israeli diamond industry have tragically lost friends and loved ones, and many of us have enlisted in this war thrust upon us in defense of our nation, against war criminals who cold-bloodedly slaughter babies, women, and the elderly.
Israel stands united in the face of this grave threat and remains resolute in our determination to prevail in this war against these extremists.
The Israel Diamond Institute extends its heartfelt gratitude to the global diamond industry for steadfastly supporting Israel during these horrifying days. We deeply appreciate your solidarity and unwavering support for our right to safeguard our residents and our nation against this shocking aggression.
With prayers for the well-being and safe return home of our abducted citizens and for more peaceful days,
IDI Chairman Arnon Juwal,
IDI CEO Aviel Elia,
and the IDI team
