BREAKING: Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar is urgently calling on Jews in the Diaspora to make aliyah in the wake of a troubling surge in antisemitic terror attacks. During a poignant speech at a Chanukah candle lighting ceremony, Sa’ar emphasized that “Jews have the right to live in safety everywhere” but noted, “Today, Jews are being hunted across the world.”
The call comes just days after a horrific incident in Sydney, where 15 people were killed by gunmen linked to the Islamic State. The attack occurred at a Chabad-run gathering at Bondi Beach, a tragic reminder of the ongoing threat facing Jewish communities worldwide.
Sa’ar directly addressed Jews in England, France, Australia, Canada, and Belgium, urging them to “come home” to Israel. “With love, in the true home of the Jewish people,” he stated. He questioned why families would raise their children in such a hostile environment and urged immediate action, saying, “The time has come.”
The Bondi Beach massacre was executed by Naveed Akram, 24, and his father Sajid, 50, who had pledged allegiance to ISIS. Naveed is facing 59 charges, including committing an act of terror, after recovering from injuries sustained during a police shootout. Sajid was shot dead at the scene. This atrocity follows a series of antisemitic arson attacks throughout Australia in 2024, which authorities have linked to Iran.
Elsewhere, antisemitic violence has also escalated in the UK. On Yom Kippur, two individuals were killed at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester when Jihad al-Shamie rammed his car into the gates before launching a stabbing spree. He was subsequently killed by police. Official statistics reveal a sharp rise in antisemitic hate crimes across the UK, US, and Europe since the October 7 attacks on Israel.
The urgency of Sa’ar’s message underscores the escalating danger for Jewish communities worldwide, especially as violence continues to rise. The impact of these attacks is being felt deeply, prompting many to reconsider their safety and future.
As antisemitic sentiments spike globally, Sa’ar’s clarion call for Jews to relocate to Israel resonates strongly during these turbulent times. The Israeli government is poised to welcome those fleeing persecution, emphasizing solidarity with Jews facing threats abroad.
Expect increased discussions about aliyah and the safety of Jewish communities in the coming days. The situation remains fluid, with more developments anticipated as authorities respond to these alarming events.
