Andy McDonald: Labour suspends MP for comments at Pro-Palestinian rally
Andy Mcdonald has been suspended as a Labour MP, after The Party said he had made " deeply offensive" comments relating to the Israel-Gaza war.
The MP for Middlesbrough used the phrase " between The River and The Sea " in a speech at a pro-Palestine rally.
Critics of The Chant argue it implicitly calls for the destruction of Israel, although pro-Palestinian protesters have contested this.
He will now sit as an independent MP, pending an investigation.
In his speech at a demonstration on Saturday, Mr McDonald said: " We will not rest until we have justice. Until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between The River and The Sea , can live in peaceful liberty. "
A Labour spokesperson said: " The comments made by Andy Mcdonald at the weekend were deeply offensive, particularly at a time of rising antisemitism which has left Jewish People fearful for their safety.
" The Chief Whip has suspended the Labour whip from Andy Mcdonald , pending an investigation. "
