Israel urges UK to take urgent action over rising antisemitism

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel has expressed concern over rising antisemitism in the United Kingdom and called on British authorities to take urgent action, according to a statement from the Israeli foreign ministry.

“After attacks on synagogues, Jewish institutions, community ambulances and now Jews targeted in Golders Green, the UK government can no longer claim this is under control.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statements are no substitute for confronting the roots of antisemitism festering across United Kingdom.

British Jews should not need security patrols and emergency volunteers to live openly as Jews.

Enough words. The UK must act decisively and urgently,” the statement said.

Earlier reports said that in the Golders Green area of London, known for its large Jewish community, two Jewish individuals were injured in a stabbing attack. The suspect has been detained.
