UK Minister Chris Elmore called on countries to share experience and work together to combat antisemitism, speaking at the London Conference on Antisemitism.

He said antisemitism affects people’s everyday lives, and Jewish people should not feel they have to hide their identity or think twice about where they go and what they do.

Hatred, conspiracy theories and intimidation spread rapidly between countries, particularly online, Elmore said. Antisemitism takes different forms in different places, but no country is responding in isolation.

The UK can share effective approaches through its diplomatic network and international partnerships, while learning from others, he said. Elmore pointed to work through the UN and OSCE, as well as the roles of the Special Envoys for Freedom of Religion or Belief and Post-Holocaust Issues.

He said governments must lead, institutions must act, and Jewish communities must be heard and involved. Elmore said the conference discussions should lead to practical steps.
