British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says police are being deployed to synagogues across the country, after the deadly attack at a Jewish house of worship in Manchester on Yom Kippur, earlier today.
“I’m already able to say that additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country, and we will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe,” Starmer says as he leaves a European political meeting in Copenhagen early to deal with the incident.
