Following the 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel, the US Department of Education has initiated investigations into five universities facing significant allegations of antisemitism. Columbia University, Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota are under scrutiny. The Department of Education expressed concern over universities tolerating antisemitic harassment and disruptive encampments that impacted campus life and suppressed Jewish religious expression.

Furthermore, President Trump has taken action against the UN Human Rights Council and UNRWA, citing bias against Israel and concerns about UNRWA staff involvement in the 2023 Hamas attacks. He also signed an executive order aimed at curbing antisemitism on college campuses, including the deportation of pro-Hamas activists holding student visas. This action has garnered praise from Jewish leaders who see it as a step towards restoring safety and order on campuses.

In related news, President Trump's proposed plan for Gaza and the administration's renewed "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran were discussed by Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) on 'Fox & Friends First'.

A UN plan to combat global antisemitism is facing criticism for its inadequate definition of the problem. Experts argue that the plan's lack of clarity on what constitutes antisemitism renders it ineffective. Meanwhile, Ruby Chen, father of a Hamas hostage, expressed his belief in President Trump's ability to broker a significant peace agreement in the Middle East.

Rabbi Steven Burg, CEO of Aish, highlighted the genuine threat posed by supporters of terrorist organizations on US campuses, emphasizing the fear and harm experienced by many Jewish students due to violence, intimidation, and aggressive protests.
