Avi Gabbay has suspended links with Britain's Labour Party

Leader Avi Gabbay announced his party had suspended links with its British counterpart.

He wrote to Mr Corbyn: "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."

Mr Corbyn, a supporter of Palestinian rights and critic of Israel, has repeatedly faced accusations of turning a blind eye to anti-Semitism in the party and groups he supports.

Mr Gabbay said: "As Israel approaches Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day this week, we are reminded of the horrors of anti-Semitism in Europe and our commitment to combating anti-Semitism of all forms and in all places."

Mr Gabbay said Mr Corbyn had shown "very public hatred" towards Israel's Palestinian policies.
