UK police set up team to help Jewish community but is this enough?

from Kan English · host כאן | Kan

British police are setting ⁠up a new team ‌of 100 officers, including counter terrorism specialists, to help ‌protect Jewish communities across London after a series of antisemitic attacks ⁠including the stabbing of two men. The plan announced on Wednesday for ⁠a dedicated protection team comes as officers announced more arrests for antisemitism. London's ‌top police boss Mark Rowley said Jewish communities were facing "sustained threats" ‌from hostile state actors as well as extreme right-wing groups, elements of the extreme left and Islamist terrorists. Detectives are examining whether the arson incidents have possible Iranian links, after British security officials warned that Iran was using criminal proxies to carry out hostile activity. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Dr Dave Rich, Director of Policy at the UK Jewish security body,  the Community Security Trust. (Photo: Reuters)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
