Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Sa'ar, has called on Jews in the Diaspora to make aliyah following a spate of high-profile antisemitic terror attacks.

"Jews have the right to live in safety everywhere. But we see and fully understand what is happening, and we have a certain historical experience," he said.

"Today, Jews are being hunted across the world. Today I call on Jews in England, Jews in France, Jews in Australia, Jews in Canada, Jews in Belgium: come to the Land of Israel! Come home!

"[Israelis] are waiting for you here with open arms. With love. In the true home of the Jewish people. Why raise your children in this atmosphere?
