B’nai B’rith International voiced concern after organizers delayed the 10th Summit of the Americas, which had been scheduled for Dec. 4-5 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The summit—traditionally hosted under the Organization of American States as a forum for leaders across the Western Hemisphere—was launched 30 years ago during the Bill Clinton administration.
The Dominican government announced on Nov. 3 that the gathering will be delayed until 2026, citing “profound divergences that currently hinder productive dialogue in the Americas.”
“Added to this situation is the impact caused by recent climatic events that have severely affected several Caribbean countries,” the announcement said.
“The postponement raises serious concerns that the summit may not be held at all,” BBI stated
