Jerusalem, 18 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — A strategic seminar, the first of its kind, was recently held as part of the joint initiative of the Ministry of Diaspora and the Fight against Anti-Semitism and the Maccabi World Union – the aim of which is to strengthen cross-cutting partnerships and join efforts between government agencies and civil society organizations from Israel and around the world in the fight against anti-Semitism and the delegitimization of Israel.
The seminar focused on forming a coordinated and cohesive ecosystem that conducts activity in targeted arenas and on developing joint working mechanisms for coordinated, information-based activity and international influence. The goals of the project were presented during the meeting, including reducing the distribution of antisemitic and incendiary content online, strengthening the resilience of Jewish communities in the Diaspora, and improving monitoring, identification, and response capabilities against delegitimization campaigns.
The seminar was held in response to a call for joint projects in the field of combating anti-Semitism and delegitimization against the State of Israel, initiated by Maccabi World and the Ministry of Diaspora and Combating Anti-Semitism, in which 25 selected projects were approved from dozens submitted from North America, Europe, and Israel. The project connects organizations operating in the field, with the aim of forging partnerships and accelerating effective guerrilla moves in the digital, educational, and academic arenas, non-Jewish communities, and various ethnic groups around the world.
