| Description | The Israeli Labor Party has suspended ties with Jeremy Corbyn over the Labour leader's response to anti-Semitism and his "hostility" to the Jewish community.
In a letter addressed to Mr Corbyn, Avi Gabbay, the chairman of the Israeli Labor Party, informed the Labour leader of a "temporary suspension of all formal relations".
He wrote: "It is my responsibility to acknowledge the hostility that you have shown to the Jewish community and the anti-Semitic statements and actions you have allowed as Leader of the Labour Party UK.
"This is in addition to your very public hatred of the policies of the Government of the State of Israel, many of which regard the security of our citizens and actions of our soldiers - policies where the opposition and coalition in Israel are aligned."
He added: "While there are many areas where our respective parties can and will cooperate, we cannot retain relations with you, Leader of Labour Party UK, while you fail to adequately address the anti-Semitism within Labour Party UK." |
