Yehuda Kaploun, a rabbi and the U.S. State Department’s special envoy for monitoring and combating antisemitism, met with United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi on Thursday morning, according to a diplomatic source. Kaploun was also seen meeting with other rulers and senior government officials. This meeting follows a previous discussion in Washington earlier this year between Kaploun and Emirati Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah bin Zayed. The UAE, a member of the Abraham Accords, emphasizes its “longstanding approach of promoting tolerance and human fraternity” and its commitment to “combating antisemitism.” This engagement also follows Kaploun's recent collaboration with Saudi Arabia to remove antisemitic content from its curriculum and his visits to the Dominican Republic and Colombia, where the Dominican government announced its adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism.
