Prince Harry warns of 'deeply troubling rise' in antisemitism in UK after spate of attacks [View all]

Prince Harry has warned of Britain’s “deeply troubling rise in anti-Semitism” following a string of antisemitic attacks directed against the country’s Jewish community.

In an op-ed published Thursday by British left-wing magazine The New Statesman, Harry outlined his fears for what he called “a divided kingdom” and urged people to separate their protests against the Israeli government from prejudice towards Jewish people.

He did not explicitly name Israel in the piece. Instead, he referred to states whose actions “raise serious questions under international humanitarian law” and acknowledged “images from Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region– of devastated communities and entire neighbourhoods levelled and reduced to rubble – have shaken people to their core.”

Israel’s war in Gaza, launched after Hamas’ deadly terrorist attack in October 2023, has prompted worldwide protests and an independent United Nations inquiry concluded last September that the country had committed genocide against Palestinians in the enclave.
