Israeli Education Minister Rafi Peretz reportedly said that the rate of intermarriage among U.S. Jews and non-Jewish people is akin to “a second Holocaust.”

The comments came during a July 1 cabinet meeting, which included a briefing by Dennis Ross, chairman of the Jewish People Policy Institute. Three people at the meeting confirmed that Peretz, 63, made the remark, according to Axios.
