Minister of Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan responded today (Wednesday) to President Trump's decision to sign a presidential decree defining Jews as a nationality.
"I commend President Trump for this significant decision, which will help combat anti-Semitism and BDS. This decision will seriously hurt the boycott organizations' ability to threaten Jews and pro-Israel officials on and off campus."
"The alarming rise in anti-Semitism and violence against Jews in the world requires dramatic steps and I will work with other countries to recognize BDS and hatred for Israel as one of the greatest generators of antisemitism," Erdan said.
