An Israeli government minister has branded London the most anti-Semitic Western city.
Amichai Chikli, who has a history of making inflammatory comments, said that the British capital was no longer safe for many Jewish people.Anti-Semitism in the UK has increased markedly since Hamas' attacks on Israel on October 7, and the subsequent war in Gaza. But Sadiq Khan and some Jewish leaders have insisted that London is not a "no-go zone" for Jews, despite the anti-Semitism.
"But it seems what is happening now in Britain is that freedom of speech no longer exists,Mr Chikli, 42, has previously compared David Cameron to Neville Chamberlain for saying that the UK could officially recognise the state of Palestine after the war in Gaza. He has also called the Palestinian Authority "neo-Nazi" and has criticised a Pride parade in Tel Aviv for being "vulgar".
