Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked challenged British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn to crack down hard on Wednesday after fresh allegations of anti-Semitism in its ranks, AFP reports.
"Mr. Corbyn must clarify that anti-Semitic comments are not within legitimate political debate, and that anti-Semitic views should end a politician's career and disqualify them from any future public office," she said in remarks broadcast from a ceremony in Krakow, Poland, on the eve of Israel's Holocaust memorial day.
"Make no mistake, the Israeli government cherishes our strong and warm relationships with friendly nations, but we will not compromise our sovereignty. We will maintain our might, defend our borders and secure our citizens," she added.
