Statement on the Israeli Labour Party severing ties with the leader of the UK Labour Party:
The announcement by the Israeli Labour Party that it is severing ties with the leader of @UKLabour, Jeremy Corbyn, is unprecedented, shocking but unsurprising.

1/5

An undeniable schism has opened between the UK Labour Party leadership and the Israeli Labour leadership, which reflects the breakdown of the UK Labour Party’s relationship with both the British Jewish community and its counterparts overseas.

Labour Against Antisemitism would like to offer our thanks to the Israeli Labour Party for their solidarity and support at this time. We appreciate that the decision must have been a very hard one.
3/5

However, we feel that it is right that they have taken a strong stand against the current epidemic of antisemitism within our party and the inaction of its leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
4/5

It is our hope that this will now be urgently and properly addressed, and that Britain’s Jewish community and the Israeli Labour Party will once more be able to place their trust in the Labour Party’s leadership.
