American Jewish Committee (AJC) CEO Ted Deutch today released the following statement in response to confirmation that Hamas slaughtered 40 Israeli babies, further depicting the depravity and inhumanity of Hamas’ terror attack against Israel.
AJC is troubled by a new law, adopted by the Knesset yesterday, that will bar foreign nationals who have publicly expressed support for boycotting Israel or who work on behalf of organizations supporting the BDS (boycott, divestment, and sanctions) movement from entering Israel.
The New York diplomatic community—including envoys from 60 nations--joined American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, for a solidarity rally today with Israel to condemn the Hamas massacre of more than 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of more than 200 people.
AJC Jerusalem’s Director, Lt. Col. (Res.) Avital Leibovich reflects on the war’s impact on her family and the feeling of solidarity and support that gives her hope for the future.
