Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz congratulated U.S. President Donald Trump on his intention to sign a Presidential Order to combat anti-Semitism in U.S. universities and colleges, and to prevent federal funding from institutions that do not prevent anti-Semitism in their field.
As part of the Order, "Judaism" will be defined as both religion and nationality, enabling a more effective fight against the anti-Israel boycott movement on campus. In addition, the administration is expected to adopt the IHRA's definition of anti-Semitism that defines anti-Israelism as anti-Semitism.
Minister Katz said "these are very significant steps in the fight against ongoing anti-Semitism and boycott movements. I urge more countries to adopt similar measures."
