Senator Robert Singer (R-Monmouth, Ocean) met with a delegation from the Israeli Knesset in Trenton today to discuss shared security concerns, rising antisemitism, and the enduring relationship between New Jersey and Israel.

“Today’s meeting with the Knesset delegation underscored years of friendship and cooperation between New Jersey and the State of Israel, and I’m honored to play an important role in strengthening that bond,” said Senator Singer. “Heightened geopolitical tensions around the globe have caused a notable surge in antisemitic rhetoric and political violence both domestically and abroad. Our dialogue addressed significant challenges facing both Israel and New Jersey, reaffirming our commitment as partners in combating antisemitic hate and promoting peace for all.”

The delegation included: Moshe Meir, Director General of the Knesset, Yuval Chen, Knesset Sergeant-at-Arms, and Merav Tordjman, Senior Advisor to the Director General.

Today’s meeting builds on Senator Singer’s ongoing advocacy for Jewish New Jerseyans. In September of 2025, Senator Singer took part in a diplomatic mission to Israel to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Abraham Accords and visited communities devastated by the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks.

Senator Singer also championed bipartisan legislative efforts to combat antisemitism in New Jersey after anti-Semitic demonstrations erupted on college. He vowed to continue advancing efforts to confront antisemitism and strengthen protections for Jewish students and residents across New Jersey.
