WASHINGTON – Following a mbadive shooting in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, synagogue last weekend, White House officials discussed the choice of people to send to the grief-stricken city as a representative of the White House. 39; administration.

Their choice was not obvious. The administration has refused for two years to appoint traditional representatives to the fight against anti-Semitism here and around the world, despite calls from Jewish organizations and a bipartisan group of Congress.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has not appealed to an affair with the White House, nor to a position in charge of communicating with the American Jewish community since the 1970s, nor to a special envoy charged with monitor and combat anti-Semitism at the State Department, a function mandated by Congress. to fight against anti-Semitism abroad.

Administration officials instead opted to send Jason Greenblatt, chief envoy of the president for international negotiations, who – while he was Jewish Orthodox and adviser on issues pertaining to the Jewish world to Trump during the campaign – did not study the issue nor spent his time at the White House engaging in relations with the wider diaspora community.

White House officials say The Jerusalem Post that instead of an official liaison, the president relies on decades-long relationships with Greenblatt and other close advisers, such as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the US ambbadador to Israel, David Friedman, for guidance on the politics and concerns of the Jewish world.

These figures are linked to a quarter of American Jews who agree with Trump's policy, according to a survey released last month by the Jewish Electorate Institute, which revealed that 74% of the community would not vote for the President, whatever the circumstances.

That same poll found that 70% of the community disapproved of the president 's treatment of a spike in antisemitism around the world.
