President Joe Biden used Religious Freedom Day on Jan. 16 to condemn what he called the rise in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia seen across the United States over the past year and declared that hate “has no safe harbor here in America.”

Biden issued the remarks in a proclamation published by the White House on Jan. 15, the same day that Israel and Hamas struck a cease-fire deal following 15 months of war.
