JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel’s Labour party said on Tuesday it had suspended relations with British Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of sanctioning anti-Semitism.
“It is my responsibility to acknowledge the hostility you have shown to the Jewish community and the anti-Semitic statements and actions you have allowed as leader of the Labour party UK,” Israeli Labour party leader Avi Gabbay wrote in a letter to Corbyn, announcing the suspension, Gabbay’s spokesman said.
