US Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council Michèle Taylor feared an antisemitic backlash from the Hamas -led invasion of Israel on October 7 .

Taylor is representing the US during the Council ’s 57th session, which runs from September 9-October 11 .

Her grandparents and her mother, Susi , had been living in Austria when the Germans took over the country in 1938 .

She was among those who advocated for Joe Biden to rejoin the Council in 2022 .

Taylor has worked to foster a better understanding of what antisemitism is and build global coalitions around them.

She affirmed Israel ’s right to defend itself, particularly against Hamas , stressing the importance of adherence to international law.

The US has voted no against all resolutions tabled under Agenda Item 7 , and increasingly more countries have refused to participate.
