Israeli First Lady Michal Herzog Visits UK Amid Rising Antisemitism
Israeli First Lady Michal Herzog recently completed a two-day solidarity visit to the United Kingdom in response to a significant increase in antisemitic incidents in the country. During her visit, Herzog met with British Jewish communities and visited sites of recent antisemitic attacks, including a Manchester synagogue that was the target of a deadly terror attack in October. In London, she visited the site of an arson attack where ambulances were set ablaze. Herzog's visit included overseeing the donation of ambulances to Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service. The visit comes amid heightened concerns over antisemitic violence, highlighted by a recent stabbing attack in Golders Green, a heavily Jewish suburb of London. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry called for more decisive action from the UK government.
