Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt called on President-elect Donald Trump to work to further combat antisemitism following the release of a study finding labor discrimination against Israeli and Jewish Americans.

In an appearance on Fox Business on Tuesday, Greenblatt outlined the study that found Jewish American job candidates have almost a 25% more difficult chance of receiving positive first responses from prospective employers than Americans with Western European backgrounds. Israeli Americans were at an even bigger disadvantage, needing to send 39% more applications to receive the same number of positive responses as their Western European counterparts.
