Britain recorded 1,926 antisemitic incidents in the first six months of 2026 - nearly 2,000 - a 21% rise compared to the same period last year and the second highest figure ever recorded for a first half of a year, according to the Community Security Trust.
Physical assaults reached 135 - the highest six-monthly assault total ever recorded by the organization. In the three days following the terrorist stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green in April, 71 antisemitic incidents were recorded. The week after the US-Israel war with the Iranian regime began in late February, antisemitic incidents in the UK jumped 71% in a single week. A series of arson attacks targeted Jewish sites across London, including four community ambulances.
British authorities have since accused the Iranian regime of using proxies to carry out attacks against Jewish communities in Britain and across Europe. "Behind these appalling numbers are people living in fear just for being who they are," said UK Policing Minister Sarah Jones.
