Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond’s Chanukah message

The Foreign Secretary said:

I wish the Jewish community in the UK and around the world a very happy and peaceful Chanukah.

This special festival reminds us that there can be light even in the darkest moments and I join the Jewish community in hoping for peace and security, particularly across the Middle East.

Chanukah Sameach to you all.
