The British government has declared antisemitism in the U.K. an "emergency” and announced plans to spend millions on increasing security around Jewish sites. This follows a string of arson attacks and a double stabbing in London’s Golders Green neighborhood. Two Jewish men were seriously injured, and a suspect has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Authorities are investigating possible links to Iranian proxies. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood emphasized the urgency of addressing antisemitism. Some say the government has not done enough and there are calls for pro-Palestinian marches to be banned. The Community Security Trust charity has reported a rise in antisemitic incidents since the October 2023 attack by Hamas-led militants on southern Israel.
