The British Labor Party cancels the nomination of two members who criticized Israel. Party leader Keir Starmer said the decision to withdraw nominations was "difficult and necessary" According to opinion polls, the Labor Party is likely to form the next British government after the general elections expected in the second half of this year.
The move came after comments by the politician he had published last fall, in which he accused Israel of prior knowledge of the attack by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip.
