UK PM Keir Starmer: “One year on from these horrific attacks we must unequivocally stand with the Jewish community and unite as a country”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK needs to stand with the Jewish community in the wake of the October 7 massacre, which he called “the darkest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust.”

“One year on from these horrific attacks we must unequivocally stand with the Jewish community and unite as a country,” Starmer says.

“We will not falter in our pursuit of peace and on this day of pain and sorrow, we honor those we lost, and continue in our determination to return those still held hostage, help those who are suffering, and secure a better future for the Middle East.”
