AJC is urging Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his government to end immediately their incendiary statements against Israel, which have led to attacks on the Jewish community.
“Once again, Haitians are in dire need of humanitarian assistance as another major disaster has hit their island nation,” said AJC CEO David Harris. "Our tradition commands us to respond generously and compassionately to those who suffer a natural disaster, and Haiti again beckons us.”
American Jewish Committee (AJC), the leading global Jewish advocacy organization, congratulates Fernando Lottenberg on his appointment as the first Organization of American States (OAS) Commissioner for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism. Creation of the position was initially announced by OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro at the AJC 2021 Global Forum in June.
AJC is deeply disappointed by the cancellation of the meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. The vast network of U.S.-Mexico economic and commercial ties, border security, and the flow of migrants are among the key issues that the two presidents were expected to discuss.
