Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar met in Jerusalem on Thursday with U.S. Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism at the State Department, thanking him for doing “tremendous work.”

Sa’ar stressed that antisemitism in its modern form aims to delegitimize the Jewish state.

“I appreciate his [Kaploun’s] commitment to strengthening the IHRA [International Holocaust Remembrance] alliance and safeguarding Holocaust Remembrance. We agreed to work closely together,” Sa’ar said.

The IHRA is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to Holocaust remembrance, research and education.
