Starmer blasted by Israel for antisemitism ‘weakness’ after attack | Politics | News
Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that Sir Keir Starmer stamp out the “scourge” of antisemitism in Britain. The Israeli prime minister slammed his UK counterpart by saying “words are not enough” 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 “to openly walk the streets as a Jew”. Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president, said London was “one of the great capital cities of the West”, but it had “become dangerous to openly walk the streets as a Jew”. “Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statements are no substitute for confronting the roots of antisemitism festering across the United Kingdom,” the Israeli foreign ministry said.
