The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:
Passover is a time of coming together, when Jewish communities commemorate the liberation of the people of Israel from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is a time to celebrate freedom as a basic human right.
Pesach Sameach to all Jewish families both in the UK and around the world. I wish them a happy and peaceful holiday.
