The UK government has allocated over £250 million to enhance police protection for Jewish communities, which have faced a rise in antisemitism and hate crimes.The funds will deploy more than 500 police officers in areas with significant Jewish populations, including 300 in London.Additional resources will support patrols near synagogues and schools, as well as plain-clothed officers.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized tackling antisemitism as a core priority, while London's Deputy Police Commissioner highlighted the threat from terrorism and hostile states.Recent incidents, such as the April attack in Golders Green and the 2025 Manchester synagogue shooting, prompted increased security measures.The package also includes education initiatives to combat hate crimes.The move comes amid growing concerns about antisemitism and foreign interference, with the government pledging long-term support for Jewish safety.
