Agudath Israel of America congratulates Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, President Trump’s nominee for Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism upon his confirmation by the full Senate.
We appreciate that the Trump administration has made it a priority to combat antisemitism in the US and across the globe.
The confirmation comes mere days after the horrific terror attack in Australia at a Chanukah gathering and following two years of surging antisemitism since October 7th. It could not come soon enough.
Ambassador Kaploun has spoken out forcefully about antisemitism and the need to combat it in all its forms including the hatred spreading online. Agudath Israel looks forward to working with the Ambassador and the Trump administration in their efforts to eradicate this scourge.
