Board of Deputies of British Jews President Phil Rosenberg has reacted to an attack targeting the British-Iranian community in London.
He said: “We are deeply concerned by this latest incident. An arson attack targeting the British-Iranian community opposed to the regime, just outside a synagogue in the heart of Golders Green. We stand in solidarity with our British Persian friends and neighbours.
“Our country and our communities are under attack, potentially by a foreign state. We are grateful to the police and politicians for their support but a new muscularity is needed to confront and defeat this shared challenge.”
