The organized American Jewish community decided to put on hold its high-profile campaign to convince Iran to free 13 Jews arrested earlier this year and charged with spying for Israel and the United States. An ad hoc task force formed to coordinate the Jewish community’s strategy agreed in a conference call on Monday to “put in abeyance” their campaign in the hope that “the public outcry combined with the major diplomatic offensive will bring positive results,” said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League.
