Weekly Spokesletter: A New Day Has Risen
Welcome The Spokesoffice — Israel's Citizen Voice to the World
Dear Global Spokescommunity,
We know that the key to effective messaging is brevity.
That’s why we’re rebranding as The Spokesoffice — Israel’s Citizen Voice to the World. Since January 1, 2025, we have placed around 250 interviews in the international media, making sure that Israel’s voice is heard where otherwise it would be drowned out. Our job is not to support this or that government policy. It’s to speak up for a nation under attack on seven fronts and push back against the lies being told to protect our enemies. If you want to support our work, please help us reach our crowdfunding target.
In the days after the October 7 Massacre, the Israeli media was flooded with video clips from the atrocities. One of them came from a young woman called Yuval, who was at the Nova festival. When Hamas death squads invaded, she called her dad in a panic. “Daddy, please send the police!” she begged him. “Hang up and play dead,” he told her. So she did. She pretended she was dead. For seven hours. Hiding under dead bodies, until eventually she was rescued. I saw the clip on TV and immediately put subtitles on it, because the world had to know what was happening. It went viral.
Yuval survived. And tomorrow night, she will represent Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland! She’s performing a song called New Day Will Rise, a powerful anthem of resilience and survival. You can help her win — and bring the Eurovision to Israel in 2026! Maybe even to the site of the Nova festival?
You can vote from anywhere in the world. Here’s how.
Let’s stick it to the haters and show them that we always rise up stronger.
Am Yisrael Chai,
Eylon Levy
I went on the Guy Benson Show on Fox News Radio this week to explain:
Israel’s excruciating dilemma: we want to bring all the hostages home today, and to stop Hamas taking more hostages tomorrow.
Why Israel’s reservists want this to be the last Gaza war, so they can go back to their lives — because they want no more war.
How Israel is doing the United States’ dirty work for it in the Middle East, keeping it safe from enemies who chant “Death to America!”
Daniel Rubenstein, Middle East Analyst, on Al Arabiya
🇮🇱 Hamas = Terror, Not Governance
Hamas invaded Israel on Oct 7, massacring civilians and taking hostages to shield itself from justice. This terror regime openly vows to repeat the attacks until Israel is destroyed — no moral government can coexist with that threat.
🎯 Ceasefire Only When Hostages Are Freed & Hamas Is Gone
Israel is open to diplomacy, but not to delay tactics. A real ceasefire means two things: the safe return of every hostage and Hamas surrendering power — only then can peace and rebuilding begin for both Israelis and Palestinians.
🍞 Humanitarian Aid Must Bypass Hamas
Israel and the U.S. are creating new mechanisms to deliver aid directly to Gazan civilians — not Hamas terrorists. For too long, Hamas has hijacked food, taxed it, and used the profits to fund war. It's time to cut them out of the loop.
Asher Fredman, Executive Director of Misgav Institute, on Silverbird TV
🇮🇱 Dual Imperatives: Rescue and Prevent
Israel is pursuing two moral imperatives: bringing every hostage home and ensuring Hamas can never repeat October 7. Hostage return is not just a humanitarian need — it's a strategic and ethical obligation tied to long-term regional stability.
🕵️♂️ Pressure Works: Military + Diplomacy = Results
Edan Alexander’s release wasn't random — it was the result of parallel Israeli military pressure and U.S. diplomatic leverage on Qatar, a key Hamas backer. This shows that assertive, coordinated action can save lives and shift outcomes.
🧠 The Gaza Reality: Hamas Still Rules, Civilians Still Suffer
Despite losses, Hamas still controls Gaza’s food, fuel, and fear. Brave Gazans who speak out are being shot. Any ceasefire that leaves Hamas in power enables continued repression and terror — peace requires dismantling their control.
Adela Cojab, Lawyer, Activist, and Media Contributor, on Al Arabiya News
🧨 “Up Hamas” isn’t art — it’s incitement.
Chanting support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah isn’t edgy protest. It’s glorifying rape, murder, and antisemitism. Free speech ends where mass murder begins.
🎭 When terror is ‘art’ and peace is ‘problematic,’ the mask slips.
Israeli musicians get cancelled for coexistence, while acts glorifying terror are applauded as resistance. That’s not cultural critique — it’s a double standard soaked in hate.
🛑 Exposing antisemitism gets banned. Promoting it gets a mic.
Pro-Israel voices are silenced for calling out hate, while performers praising genocidal terror get stage time. This isn’t free speech — it’s a campaign to erase Israel’s side of the story.
Daniel Rubenstein, Middle East Analyst, on Talk TV
🕊️ Hostages first: Diplomacy delays war.
Trump’s visit to the Middle East brings hope for hostage release, buying time to avoid a prolonged Gaza invasion. But Hamas still holds 58 hostages — peace depends on their freedom and Hamas’s removal.
⚔️ No to Hamas profiteering: Aid with accountability.
Israel and the US refuse to let Hamas exploit humanitarian aid to fund terror. New plans aim to deliver food directly to civilians, cutting off Hamas’s war machine without starving innocent people.
🌍 This isn’t just Gaza — it’s a multi-front fight.
The battle against Hamas is tied to a larger war against Iran and its proxies. Global awareness and pressure are critical — Hamas cannot stay in power while Israel fights for its survival.
This week’s episode of State of a Nation was especially painful. Asher Fredman, the executive director of the Misgav Institute for National Security, joined me to discuss Israel’s impossible choice. At the start of the war, it was clear that the military campaign against Hamas and bringing back the hostages went hand in hand. Now, they seem to be coming unstuck. Or are they?
