לא נשכח. ביום השואה אנו זוכרים את ששת מיליוני היהודים שנרצחו על ידי הנאצים. בימים אלה, שבהם חלה עלייה באנטישמיות, אנו עומדים לצד הקהילות היהודיות ברחבי העולם ועומדים נחרצים במחוייבותנו למאבק נגד האנטישמיות, על כל צורותיה.

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews who were killed, and we acknowledge the deep grief and anguish that remembrance brings for Jewish communities today. I know this comes at a time of profound anxiety. Conflicts overseas, pressures at home, and uncertainty about the future weigh heavily – compounded by a troubling rise in antisemitic attacks and terrorist plots targeting Jewish communities across the country. My government will always act decisively to protect Jewish communities and to stamp out antisemitism wherever it appears. We will not hesitate, and we will not look away. Remembrance must come with responsibility – to honour the past, to protect the present, and to ensure that ‘never again’ is not just a promise, but a duty we uphold.
