Israel will honor the late Charlie Kirk for his work combating antisemitism at a conference in late January, four months after the conservative activist was assassinated.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Wednesday that Kirk will be given an award at the International Conference on Combating Antisemitism in Jerusalem. Several pro-Israeli leaders are expected to attend the event.
This year will be the second time Israel’s government hosts the conference, which it says is “dedicated to confronting antisemitism and Holocaust denial in today’s world.”
After his death, Netanyahu described Kirk as a “lion-hearted friend” of the country and a “defender of our common Judeo-Christian civilization.”
