Jewish Community Groups Express Gratitude for Support Following Hamas Attack on Israel

In the wake of the devastating surprise attack on Israel by Hamas, the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council have issued a joint statement expressing their gratitude to Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer for their unwavering support. The statement also highlights the concern over a potential surge in antisemitic incidents in the coming days and weeks/">weeks. The shocking attack took place during Shabbat and the festive occasion of Simchat Torah, leaving Israelis, including friends and family of the Jewish community, injured, held hostage, and tragically killed. Instead of partaking in the annual celebration of the renewal of their Torah, the Jewish community finds itself mourning the loss inflicted by the heinous acts committed by Hamas terrorists.
