Deborah Lipstadt, whom President Joe Biden named the U.S. State Department’s special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, will step down. President Donald J. Trump has not yet named a successor to Lipstadt, one of the world’s foremost scholars of the Holocaust and antisemitism. “She brought expertise, gravitas, and determination to the role,” said Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. In as related item, an ADL global survey found that 46 percent of the world’s adults harbor antisemitic attitudes, prompting Greenblatt’s assessment that “antisemitism is nothing short of a global emergency.”

President Trump reportedly is eyeing  Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, former Democratic Assemblyman Dov Hikind, and social media influencer Lizzy Savetsky.
