The US Justice Department will host a "Summit on Combating Anti-Semitism" next week, consisting of Jewish communal leaders alongside "administration leadership."
Sessions during the July 15 summit include "combating anti-Semitism while respecting the First Amendment," "anti-Semitism on campus" and "prosecuting hate crimes," according to a report by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

It will be concluded with a "fireside chat" with "administration leadership," which has yet to be specified.
Among religious groups, Jews are the leading target of hate crimes annually.
Participants are not listed on the agenda, but top Trump administration officials who deal with anti-Semitism include Elan Carr, the US special envoy for monitoring and combating anti-Semitism, and Kenneth Marcus, the top civil rights official at the Education Department.
