More than 45 world leaders are in Jerusalem this week for the Fifth World Holocaust Forum. This is the largest diplomatic delegation ever to visit Israel, which includes U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Special adviser to President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner was scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his opponent, Blue and White alliance leader Benny Gantz, to discuss the option of releasing the Trump administration’s plan for Middle East peace ahead of Israel’s March 2 election. However, Kushner’s trip was cancelled after his flight from Davos was delayed due to inclement weather. He returned to Washington, D.C. instead.

Nevertheless, the White House is expected to release an announcement on its peace plan, known as the ‘Deal of the Century,’ in the near future, according to Israeli television network Channel 13.

75 Years Since The Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau

“It is important that they remember where we came from, and it is important that they see what we have achieved,” said Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

This year marks 75 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, where more than 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered by the Nazis. In total, more than six million Jews perished across Eastern Europe during the Holocaust.

The title of this year’s gathering in Jerusalem is ‘Remembering the Holocaust, Fighting Antisemitism.’ The forum began Wednesday night at Beit HaNassi, the residence of the President of Israel, with an “official reception and dinner.” It continues Thursday at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial and Museum.
