The Biden administration is expected to release as soon as this week its strategy to combat antisemitism—but possibly at the expense of reversing U.S. policy on a widely accepted definition of hatred toward Jews and their homeland, the State of Israel.

Progressives have been pressuring the White House to abandon the U.S. adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, according to the publication Jewish Insider.
