George Galloway has promised “the mother of all protests” when a cultural festival promoting Tel Aviv takes place in London next year.
In a series of tweets, he also criticised Labour’s mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan for backing the festival.
Mr Galloway, who intends to stand as the Respect Party candidate for mayor in May’s election, asked: “Why @SadiqKhan are you promising to back a Tel Aviv Festival? Have you no shame?”.
He added: “Backing a ‘Tel Aviv Festival’ in London is [not a] a vote-winner.”
