British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will convene leaders from across society to address rising antisemitism following the stabbing of two Jewish men in the London neighborhood of Golders Green. The attack, which left both victims seriously injured, has intensified fears within the Jewish community and increased political pressure ahead of local elections.

The government has raised the national terrorism threat level to severe and pledged an additional 25 million pounds to strengthen security for the country’s Jewish population. Starmer described the recent violence as part of a broader pattern of growing antisemitism, calling it 'a crisis for all of us' and urging stronger collective action beyond expressions of solidarity.

Community leaders and a local Labour Member of Parliament have criticized what they see as a muted response from parts of civil society and anti-racism groups. Officials say the upcoming meeting, which will include representatives from business, health, culture, education, and policing, is part of wider efforts to confront extremism, protect Jewish communities, and address the domestic impact of the ongoing Middle East conflict.
