Statement on arson attack in Golders Green

We’re appalled by last night’s arson attack on ambulances in Golders Green. These ambulances, operated by the Hatzola organisation, provide lifesaving services to people across North London.

This attack is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime by the police – the rising number of threats against British Jewish life must not be tolerated. We must be clear that antisemitism and hatred have no place in our society.

We stand alongside Hatzola, and with all those working to protect the British Jewish community and to fight hatred.
