Anti-Defamation League calls on Biden to appoint Jewish liaison amid rise in anti-Semitic attacks

The Anti-Defamation League is asking the White House to appoint a liaison to the Jewish community after recent violence between Israel and Hamas led to a rise in anti-Semitic attacks in the United States. 

"We want to see the administration appoint a Jewish liaison at the White House," the organization's CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, said on CBSN Thursday. The position was filled by presidents for decades and left vacant under former President Trump. The ADL told CBS News it is looking for "the re-establishment and filling" of the role, in order to "enable clear channels of communication between the White House and the American Jewish community."
