Labour Against Antisemitism calls for investigation of London mayor after comments on Netanyahu
The complaint stems from recent comments made by Khan, in which he called Netanyahu a "perpetrator of genocide."
London Mayor Sadiq Khan is facing an investigation by a standards watchdog after Labour Against Antisemitism (LAAS) lodged a formal complaint regarding his recent comments about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. LAAS leader Alex Hearn filed the complaint under the Greater London Authority code of conduct, alleging breaches of "objectivity, honesty and community relations." The complaint specifically cites Khan's interview with Channel 4 News, where he referred to Netanyahu as a "perpetrator of genocide." Hearn argued that this claim had not been determined by any legal body and that such remarks were "highly irresponsible" given the increase in antisemitic incidents in the UK linked to Israel. LAAS emphasized that the mayor's words could negatively impact Jewish Londoners' sense of belonging and safety in the city.
