A terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester, UK, on Yom Kippur, resulted in the deaths of at least two people. The attacker rammed his car into pedestrians and stabbed at least one person before being shot and killed by British police. The incident has raised concerns about the rise of antisemitism, with the Community Security Trust reporting a significant increase in incidents against the Jewish community in the UK following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack, and Jonathan Ruhe, Director of Foreign Policy at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, noted that the failure of European leaders to support a viable post-Hamas future for Gazans has contributed to the rise in antisemitic sentiment. The attack has also highlighted the growing concern of antisemitism in the US, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting an 893% increase in antisemitic attacks over the last decade.
