Straight Facts
Dear Chaverot
I hope this finds you all well. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones everything of the best for a healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful 2026. We at World WIZO are looking forward to welcoming so many of you to the annual Meeting of Representatives (MoR).
At the time of writing this, there is one more hostage whose remains are still captive in Gaza. Master Sgt. Ran Gvili fought like a lion on 7/10 before he was killed and his remains taken captive. We want him home to be laid to rest with the dignity he deserves. Please join us in ensuring that the world does not forget about him.
In this edition of Straight Facts, we hear perspectives from voices we seldom hear, go inside some of the most harrowing IDF missions and more.
Please share this with your Federations and communities.
I hope this is of service to you.
Warm regards
