  "summary": "The Dominican Republic has announced its adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, making it the seventh Latin American nation to officially embrace this framework. President Luis Abinader emphasized that antisemitism is a threat to democratic coexistence and the rights of all, urging the fight against it to be guided by universal principles rather than temporary political circumstances. The Dominican Republic has pledged 50 million pesos towards the construction of a new building for the Jewish Museum of Sosúa, reaffirming its commitment to the memory of the Holocaust and the protection of Jewish communities. US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Rabbi Ambassador Yehuda Kaploun hailed this as a \"historic moment,\" highlighting the transformative time Latin America is experiencing.",
