In London, a suspected arson attack on a former synagogue in the Whitechapel neighbourhood early Monday morning has intensified alarm about a rising tide of antisemitic violence in the UK. Le Monde reported that the fire follows a series of attacks targeting Jewish sites and individuals in the capital, part of a broader pattern that has deepened anxiety in British Jewish communities. Authorities are investigating the blaze as a criminal act, though no arrests had been announced at the time of reporting.
