NEW YORK – Reacting to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s vote to advance the nomination of Dr. Deborah Lipstadt to serve as U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said:
“Today’s vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to advance Dr. Lipstadt’s nomination to the full Senate is a critical and long overdue step in the global fight against antisemitism. Dr. Lipstadt, a longtime friend and partner of the World Jewish Congress, possesses unparalleled qualifications for this vital role.
“I hope that the full Senate will now vote expeditiously to confirm Dr. Lipstadt as the Special Envoy and we look forward to working closely with her in our ongoing efforts to eradicate this virulent bigotry.”
