Chelsea has announced it will be hosting a conference on antisemitism in collaboration with the Jerusalem Post, an Israeli newspaper, in March.
The March 29 event is being organised by the Chelsea Foundation, the football club’s charitable arm, and will feature politicians from the UK and Israel, as well as leading members of the Jewish community.
The conference, which will be held at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium, will also deal with the British-Israeli bilateral relationship with a view to deepening ties in both “diplomatic and security spheres” and “trade and tech”.
Among those attending will be Israeli Transport Minister Israel Katz and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, as well as Israeli ambassador Mark Regev. The government’s antisemitism Czar Lord John Mann, the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Conservative MP and head of the Conservative Friends of Israel Stephen Crabb will also be present.
