US Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff meets with British Jewish communities in London to discuss the uptick in antisemitic attacks since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, the White House says.

Emhoff hears from the members about what they’ve been enduring and updates them on the steps that the Biden administration has taken to address the phenomenon in the US and around the world.

The Jewish second gentleman “stressed the importance of building coalitions around the world, teaching Jewish history and culture, and improving safety and security for Jewish communities,” the White House says.

While in London with his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, Emhoff will have additional meetings, including with the Chelsea Football Club Foundation, to promote its Say No to Hate campaign, which aims to fight racism, antisemitism and all forms of discrimination.
