In December 2018, the Anti-Defamation League reached out to Grant because of the Embassy's involvement in the Doha International Book Fair which the ADL says “has a record of promoting blatantly anti-Semitic content, which we and other concerned groups have previously noted. In past years, this book fair has also provided a platform to noted anti-Semitic hate preachers, such as Mohamed al-Arefe and Aidh al-Qarni.”[3]
