Two Labour politicians are suspended for allegedly making anti-Semitic comments
Two Labour politicians, Graham Jones and Azhar Ali, have been suspended from the party after allegedly making anti-Semitic remarks at a gathering.
Mr Ali, who is on the ballot paper at the upcoming Rochdale by-election, allegedly blamed people in the media from certain Jewish quarters for fuelling criticism of a pro-Palestinian Labour MP.
It then emerged on Tuesday that former Labour MP for Hyndburn, Graham Jones, allegedly referred to "f-ing Israel" at the same meeting and that UK citizens volunteering to fight for the Israeli Defense Forces should be locked up.
A third senior Labour politician, Hyndburn councillor Munsif Dad, also attended the gathering and has reportedly been "spoken to" by Labour officials.
But Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of failing to act quickly enough, despite repeatedly claiming that rooting out anti-Semitism from the party was one of his top priorities.

An Indian UN worker lost his life in Gaza after a targeted attack on a UN vehicle in Rafah, marking the first international casualty in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The incident highlights the risks faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General AntĆ³nio Guterres condemned the attack, emphasising the need to protect humanitarian workers. Indian UN representative Ruchira Kamboj condemned civilian casualties and emphasised adherence to international law. The attack follows the UN's backing of Palestinian membership bid, with 143 countries, including India, voting for recognition, prompting a call for reconsideration by the Security Council after a US veto last month.

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as ātomorrowā if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.

The Iraqi Resistance has launched another attack in Israel, targeting the Eilat Port with a new kamikaze drone. Claiming responsibility for the strike, the group stated it was in support of Gaza. This marks the first time the resistance group has used the Al-Arfad suicide drones, which bear resemblance to the Yemeni armed forces' Sammad line of attack drone. Previously relying on its own version of the Shahed-101 drone, the resistance released a video capturing the moment the drone struck the target in Eilat. However, details regarding the location of impact and casualties remain undisclosed. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been increasingly staging such attacks on Israeli targets, particularly since the Israeli offensive in Rafah, despite prior warnings.
