Richard Ferrer

Richard Ferrer is the editor of the British newspaper Jewish News, where he has been vocal about the rising antisemitism in the UK. Following a recent terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, Ferrer expressed his concerns about the safety of the Jewish community, highlighting the increasing tensions and the long-standing fears that such incidents would occur. He has called for decisive government action to protect the Jewish community in light of heightened antisemitic incidents since the conflict between Hamas and Israel escalated in October 2023.
