U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz highlighted a recent study on Friday showing that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks outside of Israel in more than 30 years, stating that his mission "is doing our part every day to expose, confront and defeat this hatred."
He noted that President Donald Trump directed his administration to fight antisemitism in the U.S. And around the world as one of his first executive orders of his second term. "We have defunded, withdrawn from and sanctioned U.N. entities who have engaged in antisemitism," Waltz said.
According to a report released last week by the J7 Large Communities' Task Force Against Antisemitism, twenty people were killed in antisemitic-motivated attacks in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States in 2025. The report tracked incidents across seven countries: Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Britain and the United States.
"Across all seven countries, there has been a clear rise in antisemitic incidents, particularly violent ones," The report stated. From 2021 to 2025, the increases varied significantly by nation: Argentina saw a 46% rise, Canada 60%, the United Kingdom 64%, France 124%, the United States 131%, Germany 215% and Australia 270%.
The report noted that what initially appeared to be a surge following the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in Israel's south on October 7, 2023, "has become a new and persistently elevated baseline."
Germany recorded the highest rate of incidents among the seven nations, reaching 69.80 incidents per 1,000 Jewish residents in 2025, compared to 23.50 in 2021. The J7 task force documented more than 23,000 antisemitic incidents across the seven countries.
