Israeli President to Host Conference on Fighting Anti-Semitism
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - The President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, will host a conference in Jerusalem next week on the fight against anti-Semitism. The panel will include five prominent figures appointed by their governments to counter the scourge of anti-Semitism in their countries: Katharina von Schnurbein of the EU, Elan Carr from the U.S., Felix Klein of Germany, Lord Erik Pickles of Great Britain, and Frederic Potier from France. The conference will take place on Nov. 4, one week before the 81st anniversary of Kristallnacht, and will discuss different methods and tools to bolster the fight against anti-Semitism. The conference is to prepare the groundwork for a large international summit slated to convene in Israel on International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27.
