Israeli MK calls to summon UK envoy over Labour anti-Semitism

MK Oren Hazan of the Likud Party is calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to summon the UK ambassador over recent anti-Israel comments by members of the Labour Party.

“The members of the British parliament need to internalize that the British Mandate over the land of Israel ended with the establishment of the State of Israel,” he says. “Perhaps they should focus their energy on the real problem of Islamic terrorism — their true enemy– taking center stage in Europe.”

Four Labour members, including one serving member of parliament, have been suspended in the past weeks over comments deemed as anti-Israel.

The Labour Party currently serves as the official opposition.
