US Representative Elise Stefanik faced both applause and boos at the annual Anti-Defamation League summit in New York City. Her claim that the October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel would not have happened under former President Donald Trump sparked widespread boos. Stefanik also received applause for discussing her questioning of university presidents about the genocide of Jews. She called for further crackdown on campus antisemitism, deportation of foreign students engaged in antisemitism, and elimination of UNRWA. The ADL's positive reception of Stefanik highlights a shift in their approach to Trump since he entered the White House.
