In response to the recent ethnic unrest affecting the Bnei Menashe community in Manipur, India, American Jewish Committee's (AJC) Asia Pacific Institute (API) has announced a donation of $15,000 through AJC's Heilbrunn Humanitarian Relief Fund.
AJC, the global Jewish advocacy organization, welcomes the joint announcement by Israel and Nicaragua that the two nations have reestablished diplomatic relations.
Following today’s gathering in Paris of representatives of 70 countries to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian issue, AJC CEO David Harris issued a statement about the conference's impact and the "empty Palestinian seat at the negotiating table."
AJC is deeply disappointed that the Knesset passed the Regulation Bill, which retroactively legalizes dozens of unauthorized settlement outposts in the West Bank.
