Israel's Taipei office marks three years since the October 7 attack, thanking Taiwan for its support

Oct 07, 2026

Israel's representative office in Taipei held a memorial for the victims of the Hamas attack, using the occasion to publicly thank Taiwan for standing by Israel.

  • A memorial event in Taipei marked three years since the attack that killed more than 1,200 people in Israel, with music, a documentary, and silent remembrance.
  • Representative Israel Strulov said October 7 is not just a date in history but a living memory still shaping families, society, and the sense of safety.
  • Taiwan was singled out for thanks — not only for public statements of support but for helping rebuild damaged communities and donating mobile intensive-care ambulances.
  • Israeli society's response was framed as resilience built from the ground up: thousands of ordinary people, volunteers, medics, teachers, and social workers taking in evacuees and supporting hit communities.
  • A recent incident on a Dubai-bound flight, where a co-pilot stabbed the captain and nearly caused a crash, was cited as proof the terrorism threat is still live and requires international cooperation.

Outlook: Israel is likely to keep deepening ties with sympathetic partners like Taiwan while pressing for broader international coordination against terrorism.
