Starmer blasted by Israel for antisemitism โ€˜weaknessโ€™ after attack | Politics | News


Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that Sir Keir Starmer stamp out the โ€œscourgeโ€ of antisemitism in Britain. The Israeli prime minister slammed his UK counterpart by saying โ€œwords are not enoughโ€ following a terror attack in north London.
Two men were stabbed on Wednesday afternoon in Golders Green, leading to Israel warning that the UK capital had become too dangerous โ€œto openly walk the streets as a Jewโ€. Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president, said London was โ€œone of the great capital cities of the Westโ€, but it had โ€œbecome dangerous to openly walk the streets as a Jewโ€. โ€œPrime Minister Keir Starmerโ€™s statements are no substitute for confronting the roots of antisemitism festering across the United Kingdom,โ€ the Israeli foreign ministry said.
