<p>President&nbsp;<a class="person-popover__link" href="https://thehill.com/people/biden/" _mce_href="https://thehill.com/people/biden/">Biden&nbsp;</a>will establish a task force to coordinate government efforts to address antisemitism and other forms of religious bigotry, the White House said Monday, in the wake of a rise in antisemitic rhetoric from high-profile public figures.</p> <p>Biden is creating an interagency group led by the staff at the Domestic Policy Council and the National Security Council, press secretary&nbsp;<a class="person-popover__link" href="https://thehill.com/people/karine-jean-pierre/" _mce_href="https://thehill.com/people/karine-jean-pierre/">Karine Jean-Pierre&nbsp;</a>said in a statement. The group’s first order of business will be to formulate a national strategy to counter antisemitism.</p> <p>“This strategy will raise understanding about antisemitism and the threat it poses to the Jewish community and all Americans, address antisemitic harassment and abuse both online and offline, seek to prevent antisemitic attacks and incidents, and encourage whole-of-society efforts to counter antisemitism and build a more inclusive nation,” Jean-Pierre said.</p> <p>The group will meet with advocates, community leaders and members of Congress, the press secretary said.</p> <p>“As President Biden has made clear: antisemitism has no place in America. All Americans should forcefully reject antisemitism — including Holocaust denial — wherever it exists,” Jean-Pierre said.</p>
