Israeli officials and Jewish leaders held key talks with heads of state and government officials. Serious concern was raised about the rise of anti-Semitism following the Israeli defensive response to the events of October 7 and the war in Gaza.
The leaders of the Jewish communities requested that the governments intervene to protect the small Jewish community in Armenia that exists mainly in the capital Yerevan, where anti-Semitic elements attacked the synagogue several times. Armenia is a "newcomer" in the risingAnti-Semitism ranking since it is mentioned for the first time in the report submitted every year.
