U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Alan Meltzer highlighted efforts to combat Jew-hatred during a May visit to Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, where he toured the “Anti-Anti 2.0” project at the Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart.

Developed by Jewish and non-Jewish curators, the initiative uses exhibitions, educational programs and historical remembrance to address antisemitism and promote dialogue.

Meltzer “was moved by how this interfaith collaboration demonstrates that different perspectives can strengthen efforts to combat antisemitism through education and remembrance—values central to both American and German society,” the U.S. Mission in Germany stated.

The visit also included meetings focused on strengthening U.S.-German ties. In Stuttgart, Meltzer addressed the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany’s annual membership meeting and met with Baden-Württemberg Minister-President Cem Özdemir, becoming the first international partner to meet with him since his appointment.

Speaking at the JNS International Policy Summit in Jerusalem, Glick described information warfare as the “eighth front” facing Israel and warned that antisemitic content is increasingly amplified online for political and financial gain.
“What started a little more than 30 years ago as basic relations of seller and buyer has evolved dramatically to the highest level,” said former Israeli Ambassador to India Ron Malka.
The U.S. secretary of state will travel to the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain to discuss regional priorities, including the U.S. agreement with Tehran and efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
“It cannot be overstated that ISIS continues to pose a threat to U.S. interests, both domestically and abroad,” said Reid Davis, the FBI Special Agent in Charge in North Carolina.
“He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes,” his widow Andrea Mitchell told NBC.
Rapid, tech-driven strikes killed Tehran’s top commanders in seconds and secured air superiority in hours, the Rafael chair and former minister said.
Benny Gantz, JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan S. Tobin, Gilad Erdan, Mosab Hassan Yousef, Nissim Black and leading voices in security, diplomacy, media, law and Jewish communal affairs headline the summit’s third day in Jerusalem.
