Hasan Piker claims UK authorities denied his Electronic Travel Authorization, preventing him from attending events in London. He accused pro-Israel advocacy groups of exerting excessive influence over UK policy and restricting travel for anti-Zionists, while British Jewish organizations had urged the government to block his entry over alleged antisemitic remarks.

Hasan Piker claims the UK denied his Electronic Travel Authorization, preventing appearances at SXSW London and the Oxford Union. He alleges antisemitism accusations and criticizes pro-Israel groups for influencing UK policy, while British Jewish organizations opposed his entry citing remarks they described as antisemitic.

The royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion heard from Dr Dave Rich that old Jewish stereotypes have morphed into modern-day antisemitism.

The inquiry was told that tropes about Jewish people, such as those found in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, have been melded into modern antisemitism.

Two people were stabbed in Golders Green, a Jewish neighborhood in north London, in an antisemitic attack. A suspect has been arrested, and the incident follows recent arson attacks on Jewish sites. Political leader Starmer condemned the attack as 'utterly appalling,' and organizations like Shomrim, Hatzola, and the Metropolitan Police responded swiftly.
