President Isaac Herzog, speaking at the state ceremony marking 85 years since the Iași pogrom, warned that antisemitism is again raising its head in too many places across Europe, aided by the malicious influence of an 'evil empire' spreading hate. He called the phenomenon a danger to Jews and all humanity.
President Isaac Herzog delivered a stark warning at the state ceremony commemorating 85 years since the Iași pogrom in Romania, in which thousands of Jews were murdered in 1941. Speaking in Jerusalem, Herzog said antisemitism is "again raising its ugly head in too many places across Europe," attributing the rise to the "malicious influence of an evil empire spreading hate." He described the trend as "a danger to Jews and all humanity." The event was covered by Israeli media. In recent months, as The Zioneer has reported, antisemitic incidents have surged across Europe, with Germany recording an unprecedented 8,725 incidents in 2025 alone. The president's remarks come amid ongoing tensions over Israel's security operations and broader geopolitical shifts.
