Statement from the Mayor of London reads: The terrorist attack in Bondi Beach this weekend was an appalling act of antisemitic hatred. Once again, we have seen Jewish people targeted for no other reason than their faith. Today, I join millions of Londoners in mourning the innocent lives cruelly stolen, and in unequivocally condemning the heinous cowardice of the perpetrators. I know that for many in London’s Jewish communities, this weekend’s events will be deeply distressing. To hear in particular of the death of London-born Rabbi Eli, a father of five, was heartbreaking. As Jewish Londoners come together to celebrate Chanukah, I want to reassure them that we will do everything in our power to keep them safe. I have been in regular contact with the Metropolitan Police over the weekend. The police have already stepped up their presence at Chanukah events across London, and they will operate with increased visibility in Jewish communities throughout this week.
Statement from the Mayor of London reads: At its heart, the Chanukah story is one of hope and resilience. Faced with tyranny, the Maccabees defended their right to practice faith. With light, they overcame darkness. Time and again, Jewish people have fought for freedoms against prejudice and persecution. Today, this fight is far from over. I’m proud London hosts a Menorah during Chanukah. Faced with darkness, I urge all Londoners to stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters. We must show allyship with our Jewish neighbours. Now more than ever, we must unite to rid society of antisemitism and defeat this hatred wherever it rears its head. London must always be a place where people of all faiths and backgrounds can live in safety and harmony - where differences are celebrated, not tolerated. Together, we must build a future defined by hope, unity and peace. MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN

#UKHSAVirusWatch is back, a summary of our weekly winter surveillance report .🦠🧵
This week's data shows an increase in COVID-19 activity, which is circulating at medium levels. Flu activity has also increased, particularly in those aged 15 to 24, but remains at baseline levels.
Two years on from the horrific terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, we remember all the innocent victims whose lives were cruelly stolen by Hamas. Our thoughts are also with the families whose loved ones were callously murdered, as well as with the hostages who disgracefully remain in captivity and must be released immediately. October 7 was the single deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust and a profoundly painful experience for London’s Jewish communities. We must never forget this atrocity, nor the deep distress and grief it has caused many Londoners. As the vile terrorist attack on Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester last Thursday demonstrated, we still have far more to do to tackle the poison of antisemitism and drive it out of our society. Our Jewish communities must be able to live, work and worship freely – without the fear of harassment, discrimination, intimidation or violence. The fact they are currently unable to shows we must work much harder to stamp out antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head.
We must never allow conflict overseas to divide us at home. As Mayor, I will continue my work to promote inter-faith dialogue and build bridges between our different religious communities. Whether it’s antisemitism or any other form of bigotry, London has no place for those who seek to sow the seeds of hate. On this solemn anniversary, we must also acknowledge the suffering and trauma since 7 October 2023. Like so many others, my heart aches for the tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza who have been killed and the families who have been torn apart. Today, more than ever, I pray that the cycle of terror, killing and bloodshed that has engulfed the region can soon be brought to an end; that the surviving hostages can be set free; that vital humanitarian aid can flow into Gaza; and that Israelis and Palestinians can one day live side-by-side in two states and in peace.
My statement on the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks.

In the wake of the heinous terrorist attack at Heaton Park Synagogue, I know many in London’s Jewish community will be feeling afraid. My thoughts are with the families of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz at this terrible time. Places of worship should be sanctuaries and safe havens for all. No one should feel scared to attend their synagogue, church, mosque, gurdwara or temple. As we head into the weekend, there will be increased police presence in and around synagogues across the capital. Our Jewish communities must be able to live and worship free from the fear of harassment, discrimination, intimidation, or violence. The fact they cannot do so is utterly unacceptable. It is clear that there is much more to do to rid our society of the poison of antisemitism, and we must redouble our efforts to stamp out this vile hatred wherever it rears its ugly head. Now, more than ever, Londoners from all communities must stand together, show allyship to our Jewish friends and neighbours, and be united in our rejection of hatred. MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
