The participants raised several important issues, including the sharp rise in global antisemitism, the plight of the hostages in Gaza, the U.N.’s inadequate approach to Israel in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 massacre, its delayed and flawed response to Hamas’ horrifying sexual violence against Israeli women, and the need for the U.N. to address the systemic failures of UNRWA.

To commemorate International Woman’s Day, ADL published a video criticizing those refusing to believe Israeli women about Hamas’s sexual violence and called for the release of all hosages held in Gaza.
In light of growing criticism of Israel’s handling of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, ADL said that while it supports Israeli, US and other efforts to facilitate the delivery of aid across Gaza, other factors are contributing to the aid issues, including UN bureaucracy, UNRWA’s incompetency and collaboration with Hamas, and Hamas terrorists hijacking aid trucks.
ADL expressed concern about a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution that failed to reference and condemn Hamas for the atrocities of October 7, and their refusal to release the 134 hostages.
As part of ADL’s new partnership with the Jewish Agency, ADL Israel held training sessions on antisemitism for Jewish Agency representatives who will be working in Jewish summer camps.
A new blog published on the 45th anniversary of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty examines how the Israel-Hamas war has placed Arab normalization with Israel at a critical juncture like never before, risking past achievements, recent progress and future prospects.
