The Israeli government's international conference on combating antisemitism was marked by controversy as right-wing speakers criticized left-wing organizations and news outlets for enabling antisemitism. Several high-profile Jewish leaders canceled their participation due to the inclusion of far-right European politicians with histories of antisemitism. As a compromise, President Isaac Herzog hosted Jewish leaders for a private gathering without the right-wing figures. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the conference, calling antisemitism a 'disease' threatening all civilized societies. Speakers at a panel accused left-wing movements of fanning the flames of antisemitism by peddling falsehoods.
