They were accompanied by activist and attorney Dvorah Srour Politis, who is ranked third on the list of 'United led by Aryeh King' for the Jerusalem City Council elections.
"It was a very powerful and very important week for the members of the delegation and for Israel," Politis shared. "Since the attack by Hamas on Israel, I have been in close contact with the members of the delegation who came to express their appreciation and support for the State of Israel. To see up close the harsh sights, to experience being at the very place where all happened and smell the harsh smells that we have been exposed is much different than to see it from pictures and stories. Now these representatives are doing a fabulous job in Brazil, changing the narrative by sharing their impressions from the visit to their readers and followers in Brazil and the world."
Aryeh King, chairman of Meuhadim party and deputy mayor of Jerusalem said, "I salute my party member, attorney Dvorah Srour Politis, for joining the public diplomacy in general, and in particular joining the efforts against a hostile politician from Brazil – despite the fact that her family members are enlisted and fighting on the front. We must win on all fronts: the battle in Gaza, the home front and world's general opinion. It's my honor to be a party member of Dvorah who brilliantly represents our values which are based on Zionism, the love of Israel and strengthening Judaism. I know how she can contribute Jerusalem in the fields of public diplomacy and the Aliyah integration."
