We are devastated to hear reports of a shooting attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, with multiple fatalities at a Jewish Hanukkah event.
While details emerge, we have been in touch with our Australian partners at the Executive Council of Australian Jewry to express our solidarity and offer our support.
We have also been in touch with the UK Government, who are monitoring the situation closely, to discuss the UK response.
The scourges of terrorism and antisemitism are shared, international challenges and need concerted and determined action to defeat them.
