Extreme heat isn't a summer inconvenience. It's a growing public safety challenge driven by the climate crisis, threatening lives, disrupting businesses and putting our economy at risk. I strongly welcome the PM convening COBR today. Government must act as one to protect people and communities.

As Jewish Londoners come together to celebrate Chanukah, we will do everything in our power to keep you safe.

Statement from the Mayor of London reads:

The terrorist attack in Bondi Beach this weekend was an appalling act of antisemitic hatred. Once again, we have seen Jewish people targeted for no other reason than their faith.

Today, I join millions of Londoners in mourning the innocent lives cruelly stolen, and in unequivocally condemning the heinous cowardice of the perpetrators.

I know that for many in London’s Jewish communities, this weekend’s events will be deeply distressing. To hear in particular of the death of London-born Rabbi Eli, a father of five, was heartbreaking.

As Jewish Londoners come together to celebrate Chanukah, I want to reassure them that we will do everything in our power to keep them safe.

I have been in regular contact with the Metropolitan Police over the weekend.

The police have already stepped up their presence at Chanukah events across London, and they will operate with increased visibility in Jewish communities throughout this week.

Statement from the Mayor of London reads:

At its heart, the Chanukah story is one of hope and resilience. Faced with tyranny, the Maccabees defended their right to practice faith. With light, they overcame darkness. Time and again, Jewish people have fought for freedoms against prejudice and persecution. Today, this fight is far from over.

I’m proud London hosts a Menorah during Chanukah. Faced with darkness, I urge all Londoners to stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters.

We must show allyship with our Jewish neighbours. Now more than ever, we must unite to rid society of antisemitism and defeat this hatred wherever it rears its head.

London must always be a place where people of all faiths and backgrounds can live in safety and harmony - where differences are celebrated, not tolerated.

Together, we must build a future defined by hope, unity and peace.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
