(27 Jan 2019) Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned against rising anti-Semitism in Europe during a cabinet meeting on Sunday, coinciding with the International Holocaust Remembrance day.
During the cabinet meeting, which was attended by three holocaust survivors, Netanyahu called for the "international community to act against the antisemitism" particularly in Europe which he called a "combination of Islamaphobia and antisemitism from the extreme left dressed in a robe of anti-Zionism".
Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs has said 2018 saw a record number of worldwide anti-Semitic attacks in the streets, online and in the political arena.
The ministry released its 2018 Global Antisemitism Report on Sunday to coincide with International Holocaust Memorial Day.
Among the key findings were that 13 Jews were murdered in fatal attacks in 2018, the highest number of Jews murdered since the wave of attacks on Argentinean Jews in the 1990's.
The report found that around 70 percent of anti-Jewish attacks were anti-Israel in nature and that most of the attacks were led by neo Nazis and white supremacists.
