The British Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt has announced funding of up to £7m over the next three years to organisations after expressing deep concern about rising race discrimination in the UK.
The Chancellor said the funding will be given to organisations, like the Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) charity, over three years to combat a rise in antisemitic incidents in education settings.
It comes after two Jewish schools in North London were vandalised with red paint last month following Hamas’s attack on Israel and the subsequent military retaliation.
While delivering the government’s Autumn Statement today ,Hunt expressed displeasure at the attack on Israeli citizens in October and the subsequent loss of life on both sides.
