HIAS+JCORE is deeply distressed by the stabbing attack on two Jewish men in Golders Green this morning (29 April 2026). We are relieved to hear that both individuals are now in a stable condition, and we wish them a quick and full recovery.
This is a difficult and unsettling time for the UK Jewish community. Today’s attack is sadly just the latest in a series of worrying antisemitic incidents that we need an urgent end to. It is simply unacceptable that British Jews are facing fear as they go about their everyday lives.
There can never be any place in our society for violence and hate – whether it is directed at our community, or anyone else. In the face of these challenges, we remain committed to working alongside others to confront hatred, build solidarity, and create the better, safer country we all need.
