US antisemitism envoy meets Jerusalem Christian leaders to discuss attacks on community

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

The Biden administration’s antisemitism envoy Deborah Lipstradt met earlier today with Christian leaders in Jerusalem to discuss the recent uptick in attacks on the religious minority in the city by young extremist Jews.

“Religious extremism, violence, and intolerance is unacceptable towards any faith group,” the US Office of Palestinian Affairs tweets afterward, saying Lipstadt and the Christian leaders “agreed on the need to protect the religious diversity of Jerusalem while building understanding across communities.”
