In response to a troubling rise in antisemitic incidents, London's Metropolitan Police announced the formation of a new 'community protection team' aimed at enhancing safety for Jewish communities. The unit will initially include 100 officers and will integrate neighbourhood policing with specialist protection and counter-terrorism capabilities. This announcement follows a series of violent attacks, including the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green and an arson incident targeting a former synagogue in east London. Over the past month, police have made over 80 arrests related to antisemitic hate crimes. Met Commissioner Mark Rowley described the new team as a vital step in addressing the sustained threats faced by Jewish communities. While the unit will primarily focus on Jewish safety, the police clarified that they remain committed to tackling hate crimes against all communities in London. Additionally, the chief prosecutor for England and Wales announced that hate crime prosecutions will be expedited due to the alarming increase in antisemitic incidents.
