Former premier Naftali Bennett bashes UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the deadly terror attack at a Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippur.

“When antisemitism is surging to levels not seen since the Holocaust, for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer it was instead urgent to recognize ‘a Palestinian state’ instead of focusing on his basic duty to defend Jewish citizens of Britain,” Bennett says in a statement.

Bennett decries “the loss of a moral compass in Europe” and says that in many countries “there are negative repercussions toward the Jewish people.”
