These incidents are not isolated, but part of a larger pattern of rising anti-Semitism and violence against Jewish individuals and interests worldwide. The call for a global ‘Day of Jihad’ by Hamas only served to fan the flames of hatred and intolerance.

Law enforcement agencies worldwide are grappling with this surge in violence and anti-Semitic sentiment. They face the daunting task of maintaining peace and security while dealing with these volatile situations.

‘Day of Jihad’ brought to light the urgent need for a global response to counter this wave of violence and hatred. It is imperative that nations stand united against such acts of terror and work together to ensure the safety and security of all citizens.
