In a statement Thursday, B’nai B’rith International said it is “surprised and disappointed” that President Joe Biden didn’t address “the growing threat of antisemitism” across the country in his State of the Union speech.
In the statement, signed by the nonprofit’s president Seth J. Riklin and CEO Daniel S. Mariaschin, the organization acknowledged Biden’s firm support for Israel’s “right to go after Hamas,” adding that it opposed any ceasefire agreement in which Hamas is allowed to rearm.
“As long as Hamas remains in power, there can be no security for Israel and no peace for the region,” the group said.
