| Albania becomes first Muslim country to adopt IHRA anti-Semitism definition |
| 2020-10-23 |
| [IsraelTimes] The Albanian parliament formally adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism, making Albania the first Moslem-majority country to do so and promise to fight anti-Jewish prejudice. The IHRA definition, which casts some forms of criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, has been adopted by many Western countries, but so far not by Moslem countries. Robert Singer, the executive vice president of the World Jewish Congress, is quoted by the Makor Rishon newspaper as expressing hope that more Moslem nations will follow in Albania’s footsteps Related: Albania: 2020-10-11 Report: Iranian diplomat held in Belgium on terror charges warned of retaliation Albania: 2020-10-01 Italy repatriates female Islamic fighter and her 4 children Albania: 2020-09-05 Trump oversees economic deal that includes Kosovo recognizing Israel, Serbia moving embassy to Jerusalem |
