A father, grandfather, and husband. President of the WJC, an American patriot, and a great supporter of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
The World Jewish Congress is troubled by the language used in a joint statement by 28 countries, and the ways in which it may be misused to promote misleading narratives about Israel. Such narratives are often co-opted by actors seeking to delegitimize the Jewish state and…
I thank Secretary @SecRubio for taking bold, overdue action. Francesca Albanese has spent years using the UN to wage political warfare against Israel and the U.S., slandering democracies while excusing terror. Her campaign empowered Hamas propaganda and fueled global…
Today I am imposing sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt @IntlCrimCourt action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives. Albanese’s campaign of political and economic…
On this Fourth of July, we celebrate the enduring promise of America: liberty, equality, justice, and unity for all. These values are not just ideals to honor—they must be actively upheld, taught, and defended with unwavering commitment. In the face of rising antisemitism,…
The ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced and brokered by President Trump and Qatar is nothing short of heroic. If both parties agree and the calm holds, it will be truly historic. The people of Israel and Iran share a deep bond stretching back millennia — a legacy…
A nuclear Iran would pose a grave threat to Western civilization and global security. It is my hope that today’s historic operation by the United States has brought an end to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions once and for all. I applaud President Trump and his…
‘Globalize the Intifada’ is not a cry for justice — it is a call for terror, murder, and hate. For Zohran Mamdani to compare it to the heroic Warsaw Ghetto Uprising where Jews fought to save their families as 6 million were being murdered — is vile revisionism. This isn’t a…
The Iranian regime is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. If it were to acquire a nuclear weapon, it would endanger the very fabric of civilization. May Israel succeed in its mission to neutralize this threat—for the sake of global security and the future of…
Recent weeks have shown the danger of ignoring the facts. Doing so doesn’t just endanger Israel—it places Jewish communities everywhere at risk. It’s time the international community recognized the threat posed by Hamas, Iran, and their proxies—not only to Israel, but to global…
Today the United States was forced to exercise its veto once more—and We are grateful for the @realDonaldTrump administration’s steadfast support of Israel as UN bodies continue to be weaponized against the world’s only Jewish state. Today’s proposed UN Security Council…
On the eve of Shavuot, Molotov cocktails are thrown at Jews on American soil—for marching peacefully to demand the return of the hostages held by Hamas—it is not just a hate crime. It is an antisemitic act of terror. The attack in Boulder is a wake-up call: antisemitism in the…
Despite all the political divisions in Israel, as well as the existential threats from outside, the Jewish response to hatred has always been unbounding courage, and that can be summed up in 4 simple, profound statements: “We are here” “We have hope in our future” “We are Jews”…
