Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV), co-chairs of the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, released the following statement applauding Argentina and Serbia for recently adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition on anti-Semitism.

"We have long-supported adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, which is a helpful tool to train law enforcement and inform educators about how to identify and combat anti-Semitism," said the Senators. "We applaud Argentina and Serbia for joining the United States State Department and other countries in adopting this definition. As we witness a dangerous spike in anti-Semitic incidents worldwide, we call on the US and other countries to follow their example and join together in the fight against hate."
