Starmer vows to protect Jewish communities
Sir Keir Starmer promises to protect Jewish communities in the wake of the Manchester attack targeting a synagogue during Yom Kippur. The attack, carried out by a 35-year-old named Jihad Al-Shamie, resulted in two fatalities and several injuries. Starmer pledged increased security measures and condemned the rising antisemitic hatred, vowing to combat it alongside national and international leaders who expressed shock and solidarity with the Jewish community.
