Jewish Londoners on alert & Israel’s Hamas hostage hunt

This edition of the Leader podcast examines safety concerns for Jewish Londoners following the weekend’s attacks that saw squads of heavily-armed Hamas gunmen launch a massive terror attack in southern Israel.

More than 10 Britons are feared dead or missing - among over 900 hundred now believed to have been killed - with Hamas threatening to kill hostages if Israeli forces continue bombarding the Gaza Strip, with more than 700 Palestinians already dead and descent into war.

We’re joined by Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, to discuss their work in this crisis and Evening Standard crime correspondent Anthony France on the Met police response.
