UK Deepens International Cooperation to Combat Antisemitism

The UK is set to deepen its work with the international Jewish community to stamp out antisemitism, following a UK-hosted meeting coordinating efforts against rising antisemitic behaviour and strengthening support for Jewish people everywhere.

The Foreign Secretary hosted the J7 Global Task Force in London, bringing together national Jewish organisations and representatives from the seven countries with the largest Jewish populations outside Israel, News Cover reports, citing the UK government's official website.

Participants discussed practical ways to tackle antisemitism, strengthen international coordination and share effective approaches to protecting Jewish communities. This includes the UK also agreeing to host a future J7 Ministerial-level meeting on antisemitism.

The meeting comes as the J7’s latest annual report found that 2025 was the deadliest year for Jews living outside Israel since 1994, with the UK among the countries that recorded an increase in antisemitic incidents.

The UK is working with international partners to deepen cooperation against antisemitism, building on action already being taken domestically to protect Jewish communities and tackle anti-Jewish hatred.
