Golders Green stabbings: suspect arrested after ‘terror attack’ on two Jews
Israeli foreign ministry says Keir Starmer’s words ‘no substitute for confronting roots of antisemitism’ after a knife attack claimed by Iranian-linked Islamists

Police declared a terrorist incident after the victims were knifed within minutes of each other in Golders Green on Wednesday morning by a suspect who police said had a history of “serious violence and mental health issues”.
The suspect is a British national born in Somalia, police confirmed in an update on Wednesday night.
Sources said the specific targeting of the Jewish community was a major factor in declaring
the attack a terrorist incident.
It marks an escalation in recent attacks on Jews in north London. Sir Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi, said “words of condemnation are no longer sufficient”. Israel’s foreign ministry said the prime minister’s statements were “no substitute for confronting the roots of antisemitism” and “the UK government can no longer claim this is under control”.
