Israel to fund global advocacy against antisemitism with NIS 10m

The Diaspora Affairs and the Combatting Antisemitism Ministry has earmarked ten million shekels for civic advocacy efforts to combat antisemitism and promote the country's stance globally.

This financial injection comes as part of the 'Voices of Israel' initiative, a response to the heightened needs following the Swords of Iron War. The program encourages organizations and companies worldwide to engage in advocacy, offering a matching funds model to double their investment in these critical efforts.

Minister Amichai Chikli highlighted the urgent need for a unified front against pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas entities, emphasizing the government's commitment to supporting civil society in this endeavor.
