Herzog: ‘We must fiercely combat rising antisemitism in Europe’
Israel’s president addresses ‘deeply troubling’ surge in Jew-hate at ceremony to remember more than 13,000 massacred in Romania in 1941
Assessment
Israel's president is using a commemorative ceremony in Romania to urge European action against antisemitism, linking the current surge to historical mass murder. The remarks tie the 1941 pogrom to present-day threats, applying diplomatic pressure on European governments. Watch for whether European leaders respond with concrete policy changes or statements.
