Here’s a response from the Jewish Council of Australia: https://www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/07/jewish-council-rejects-special-envoys-antisemitism-plan

[–] Aussieiuszko@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

The Council is especially concerned about the plan’s strong endorsement of the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been used to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism.

The IHRA are pro-genocide and their definition should be rejected.
