According to Euronews, Rabbi Mendy Chitrik has suggested that Europe should increase its engagement with Jewish communities living in Muslim-majority countries. He posits that these groups should be viewed as active participants in promoting coexistence and cooperation rather than historical remnants of the medieval period.

Chitrik advocates for these communities to be recognised as living bridges that facilitate meaningful dialogue. By fostering these connections, the Rabbi argues that Europe could gain new perspectives on interfaith relations, moving beyond outdated interpretations of history to support contemporary efforts at cross-border cooperation.
