Rep. Zeldin Applauds Appointment of Elan Carr as State Department Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus issued the following statement after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appointed Elan Carr as Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism:

“As we witness the rise of anti-Semitism at home and around the world, the appointment of this position is perhaps more vital now than ever. As an anti-terrorism expert and champion of the Jewish people, Elan Carr has garnered the reputation as a fierce opponent of anti-Semitism in every form, and I look forward to working with him to extinguish this hatred wherever it may hide. I have known Elan for several years and while there were many amazing candidates for this urgently needed position, he is certainly a most exceptional choice.”
