In his Passover message to the Jewish community, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledges the somber reality that "for too many families, there will be empty seats" at the Seder table this

year due  to the events of the 7th of October terror attack.

Sunak recognizes Pesach as a time for families and communities to come together in gratitude as they share the Seder meal.

However, he also acknowledges the pain of those affected by loss, stating, "My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones on 7th October. And those who continue to be held hostage."

Sunak reaffirms his government's commitment to stand with Israel in the face of such attacks, particularly condemning the recent incident attributed to Iran.

In a forthcoming social media video, the Prime Minister emphasizes the hope embedded in the promise of Passover for better times ahead. He extends his wishes for comfort to the Jewish community, regardless of their proximity to loved ones, and underscores the message of optimism for a brighter future.
