Israel Labour suspends ties with UK Labour boss

Occupied Jerusalem: The chief of Israel’s Labour party says the group is suspending ties with the leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party over the party’s alleged anti-Semitism.

Avi Gabbay said Tuesday he sent a letter to Jeremy Corbyn announcing his decision.

He wrote to Corbyn: “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.”

Gabbay said the suspended relations apply to Corbyn only and not his party.
