Foreign Ministry hails EU Council declaration against anti-Semitism
The Foreign Ministry hails as a “breakthrough” the Council of the European Union’s approval of a declaration on the fight against anti-Semitism.
In a brief statement, the ministry says the most significant parts of the decision were the funding of protection for Jewish communities, “deepening the battle against hateful anti-Semitic discourse online,” and the call for EU countries to fully adopt the IHRA’s definition of anti-Semitism.
