UK suspends British-Nigerian minister for accusing Israel of genocide
A British-Nigerian minister, MP Kate Osamor, has been suspended after accusing Israel of ‘genocide’ on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day.
Ms Osamor, the British-Nigerian born MP for Edmonton, sparked resentment after claiming that Gaza should be added to the list of recent genocides, in her weekly newsletter.*
In a photo of herself posted on X, Ms signed the Holocaust Education Trust’s commemoration book in Westminster
In a post on X handle, Ms Osamor posted a photo of herself signing the Holocaust Education Trust’s commemoration book in Westminster.
“Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day, an international day to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, the millions of other people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups and more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and now Gaza,” she wrote in her handle.
But the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Labour Movement and the Holocaust Educational Trust reacted to her controversial remarks.
The Chief Whip suspended Ms from the Parliamentary Labour Party pending an investigation.
