American Jewish Committee (AJC) mourns the passing of Pope Francis. The pontiff, who was elected to serve in 2013, died today at the age of 88. Jorge Mario Bergoglio ascended to the throne of St. Peter after decades as a priest, bishop, archbishop, and cardinal in greater Buenos Aires, where he enjoyed an exemplary relationship with the Argentinian Jewish community. He chose Francis as his papal name, in tribute to St. Francis of Assisi, a forerunner of the interreligious outreach which characterized Francis’s papacy.

AJC Statement on U.S.-Iran Nuclear Talks
April 11 2025
American Jewish Committee (AJC) is monitoring the planned negotiations between Iran and the United States related to the Iranian regime's rapidly advancing nuclear program. Action toward a solution is necessary and overdue. The Iranian regime has long been a destabilizing force on the world stage. It has continuously called for the destruction of the U.S. and Israel, supported terrorism, interfered in the internal affairs of other nations, and committed pervasive human rights abuses. Its ongoing, active threats to regional stability and peace are intolerable.
