Badenock also proposed the deportation of any foreign citizens expressing antisemitic views. The Liberal Democrats called for political unity to combat antisemitism, while the Green Party's Zak Polanski condemned the attacks. Opposition members criticized the government, claiming the current response has been insufficient to protect the community. The source noted that not enough is being done to prevent these incidents. The meeting addressed the anxiety caused by the ongoing attacks.
