I am deeply concerned about the terrorist attack that took place today.

This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest in a spate of utterly vile attacks on the Jewish community.

I’ve just chaired an emergency COBR meeting and tomorrow I’ll be bringing together criminal justice agencies to ensure we have effective and swift justice.

[UK in Israel 🇬🇧 @ukinisrael]

The British Embassy condemns today’s appalling antisemitic attack in London. As the Prime Minister has said, attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain. The suspect has been arrested, and counter terorrism police are leading the ongoing investigation.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The recent attacks targeting Jewish communities are appalling.

We're working closely with the police, security services and CST to protect our Jewish communities, disrupt extremist threats and bring those responsible to justice.

We must defeat the poison of antisemitism.

The Britain that I want is a Britain where people can practice their religion, their faith, in safety and security.

לרגל יום העצמאות ה-78 של מדינת ישראל, שגרירות בריטניה שולחת ברכות חמות ואיחולים לכל אזרחי ישראל.

[UK in Israel 🇬🇧 @ukinisrael]

שגרירות בריטניה שותפה לתחושות המורכבות של עם ישראל ביום הזיכרון. ביום זה, אנו זוכרים את החללים ונפגעי פעולות האיבה. בריטניה עומדת לצד המשפחות השכולות. יהי זכרם ברוך

[Hamish Falconer MP @HFalconerMP]

Recent antisemitic attacks against the Jewish community are completely unacceptable.

Antisemitism is abhorrent and will not be tolerated - police are investigating and have the government’s full support.

[UK in Israel 🇬🇧 @ukinisrael]

לא נשכח. ביום השואה אנו זוכרים את ששת מיליוני היהודים שנרצחו על ידי הנאצים. בימים אלה, שבהם חלה עלייה באנטישמיות, אנו עומדים לצד הקהילות היהודיות ברחבי העולם ועומדים נחרצים במחוייבותנו למאבק נגד האנטישמיות, על כל צורותיה.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews who were killed, and we acknowledge the deep grief and anguish that remembrance brings for Jewish communities today.

I know this comes at a time of profound anxiety. Conflicts overseas, pressures at home, and uncertainty about the future weigh heavily – compounded by a troubling rise in antisemitic attacks and terrorist plots targeting Jewish communities across the country.

My government will always act decisively to protect Jewish communities and to stamp out antisemitism wherever it appears. We will not hesitate, and we will not look away.

Remembrance must come with responsibility – to honour the past, to protect the present, and to ensure that ‘never again’ is not just a promise, but a duty we uphold.

הצהרת שרת החוץ קופר:

אני מגנה בתוקף את התקיפות המתמשכות של חיזבאללה נגד ישראל. הפעילות של ארגון טרור זה - בהכוונת המשטר האיראני - גוררות שוב את אזרחי לבנון לסכסוך שאינם רוצים בו ושאינו לטובתם. אנו זקוקים לפעולה דיפלומטית ברורה כדי למנוע את התרחבות הסכסוך הזה.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I would like to extend my thanks to the police, the security services, and everyone involved in keeping Britain safe.

People will be worried after today's arrests, especially those in our Jewish community. Our world-leading security services will not hesitate to protect you.

There are some who will use moments like this to divide people. It is vital that we now come together as a nation, united in our common purpose.

[UK in Israel 🇬🇧 @ukinisrael]

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Iran’s indiscriminate attacks threaten the entire Middle East region.

Today, I spoke with E5 Defence Ministers from France, Germany, Italy and Poland about how our Armed Forces are protecting British lives and supporting our allies.

[Hamish Falconer MP @HFalconerMP]

Today I summoned Iran's Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Iran’s reckless actions are threatening the security of the region and the safety of British nationals and must stop.
