A further £25 million will be invested to increase security for Jewish communities after the suspected terror attack in north London, the Government has said.
The funding will be aimed at boosting police patrols and protections around synagogues, schools and community centres.
Legislation creating powers to target people and organisations acting on behalf of state-sponsored groups will also be “fast-tracked” in the coming weeks, the Government said.
Security minister Dan Jarvis told Times Radio the government would fast track legislation which would allow the prosecution of people acting as a proxy of a state-sponsored group under Britain's National Security Act.
The government said the new powers would mean proxies could be dealt with in the same way as foreign intelligence services.
The plans were announced after Wednesday's stabbings, which follow a spate of recent attacks, many involving arson, on Jewish targets in London. Last October, two people and an attacker were killed after a man drove at a synagogue in the northern English city of Manchester.
Britain's independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall, told the BBC the attacks had become "the biggest national security emergency" since 2017, when there were a string of high profile attacks.
Police across the country have stepped up patrols in response to the attack that saw two Jewish men – 34-year-old Shilome Rand and 76-year-old Moshe Ben Baila, named locally as Moshe Shine – taken to hospital after being stabbed in the Golders Green.
A 45-year-old man, said by police to be a Somali-born British national, was arrested following the incident on Wednesday.
A police cordon surrounding the scene has now been lifted.
Parts of Highfield Avenue, Beverley Gardens and Golders Green Road in north-west London had been sealed off following the stabbings on Wednesday, but the roads were opened again by 7am on Thursday.
The stabbings are the latest in a series of attacks on Jewish sites over recent weeks and have prompted calls for urgent action and accusations the Government has not done enough to tackle antisemitism.
Jarvis also said on Thursday that there would be an additional 25 million pounds ($33.65 million) to protect the Jewish community, which the government said brings the total funding this year to 58 million pounds.
