Sadiq Khan accused of ‘extraordinary’ failure to adequately engage Jewish leaders amid attacks on community
Mayor has not had a one-to-one meeting with key Jewish communal organisations and stakeholders in past year
Assessment
London's Jewish community faces rising attacks while the mayor has not held a single one-to-one meeting with key Jewish organizations in a year. The accusation of an extraordinary failure points to a breakdown in direct communication during a period of heightened security concerns. Without regular high-level engagement, community leaders lack a clear channel to raise urgent safety issues. The next test will be whether Khan changes course or the gap widens further.
