From US House passes bill requiring national anti-Semitism envoy
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US House of Representatives overwhelmingly votes in favor of a bill designed to enhance the role of the national anti-Semitism monitor and require the president to nominate someone for the position within 90 days.
The “Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Act” sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) passes easily in a 393-2 vote.
Lawmakers and Jewish communal organizations have chafed at the Trump administration’s failure to name someone to the anti-Semitism monitor post since Donald Trump became president, citing a perceived spike in anti-Semitism worldwide.
