Rising Anti-Semitism and Global Reactions

Especially in Germany, you are facing a rise of anti-Semitism,

but we are facing this all over the world.

So I would like to hear what is your perspective on this.

The 7th of October has created turbulence in the whole world,

a tremendous rise of anti-Semitism, organized, state-sponsored in many instances,

in universities, on the streets,

and a rise of 500%, maybe some instances to 1,000% of anti-Semitic acts.

And there has also been a reaction of Europe.

I think the rise of the extreme right in many European countries is a response to the insecurity

felt by the old Europeans, so-called old Europeans,

regarding the new immigrants who came from the Middle East.

So I think that fighting Islamophobia and anti-Semitism is an interest of both religions and both communities,

and when we do it together, it's going to be much more useful.

We have created under also the Saudi umbrella, more than 10 years ago,

the Muslim Jewish Leadership Council,

which was successful,

and we believe that we have to go this way if we want to make sure

that every European can live in peace and walk in peace in the streets.

Thank you very much.
