President Trump has issued a number of ardently pro-Israel policies since becoming president, and on Wednesday signed an executive order to define Jewish people as an ethnic group rather than just a religious one in a bid the White House says will combat anti-Semitism.

He has also formally moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and recently the State Department in a shift in U.S. policy said Israeli settlements in the West Bank were consistent with international law.

But the president has also been accused of contributing to a rise in anti-Semitic crime in the United States over the past several years. He was particularly criticized for an equivocal response to neo-Nazi and white supremacist group protests and marches and the demonstrators protesting against them in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.
