  "textContent": "\n\n\nKing Charles travelled to Golders Green in north-west London today to express his unwavering solidarity with the Jewish community in the wake of recent antisemitic violence.\n\nThe monarch visited Jewish Care, where he engaged with representatives from the community and local charitable organisations.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe King also took time to speak with residents along the high street during his visit to the area.\n\nThe Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis was also present at the gathering, telling the King they \"appreciate it enormously\" that he had come.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nMetropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley attended alongside members of Shomrim, the Jewish community police force whose volunteers helped respond to the incidents on 29 April.\n\nThe royal engagement comes a fortnight after a knife attack in the neighbourhood left two Jewish men with stab wounds on April 29th.\n\nA Palace spokesman stated following the attack: \"His Majesty is being kept fully informed and is naturally deeply concerned, in particular about the impact for the Jewish community.\"\n\nThe spokesman added that the King's \"thoughts and prayers are with the two individuals who were injured.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe victims of the April attack, Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76, met with King Charles today.\n\nBoth men received medical attention at the scene of the attack before being transported to the hospital.\n\nRabbi Levi Schapiro from the Jewish Community Council visited the pair after the attack and subsequently posted on X that Mr Rand had been released following treatment for severe knife wounds.\n\nThe rabbi described Rand as \"a living miracle,\" noting that \"he could easily have died because of where his wounds were.\"\n\nMr Shine sustained graver injuries than his fellow victim, though medical staff remain hopeful about his prospects for complete recovery, according to Rabbi Schapiro.\n\nThe Palace spokesman also expressed the King's \"heartfelt gratitude to those who so selflessly rushed to their aid.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn an interview with the BBC from his hospital bed, Mr Rand expressed relief that his injuries were not more severe, stating: \"I feel like God's given me back my life.\"\n\nWhen questioned about whether sufficient action had been taken to combat antisemitism, Mr Rand was unequivocal: \"Definitely not. People are now afraid and it's been taken to a new level.\"\n\nHe argued that statements from Downing Street declaring intolerance for antisemitism were inadequate.\n\n\"It has to be changed in a very different way to get the streets to be safe again,\" Mr Rand said, calling for more substantive measures beyond political rhetoric.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
