Israel to push for U.N. adoption of IHRA definition of antisemitism

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan
"Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Gilad Erdan is promoting an initiative that would see the international body adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism.
...
To enlist the U.N. to the effort, Erdan recently met over the weekend with U.N. Under-Secretary-General Miguel Moratinos, the body's 'point man' on anti-Semitism. The two discussed options for fighting anti-Semitism, as well as the possibility of the U.N.'s adopting of the IHRA definition of the term in such a way that obligates all of its organizations.
...
So far, 35 countries have adopted the IHRA definition, according to which anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism."
