Jewish leaders accept offer to meet Jeremy Corbyn over Labour antisemitism

They said the Jewish community wanted to see “significant, timely and measurable progress” on the efforts to tackle Jew-hatred.

“Ultimately the most important thing going forward will be action and not words,” the pair concluded.

It is thought both sides will now work to set a date for the meeting.

In a letter to the groups last night, Mr Corbyn had said his door was open to “all Jewish organisations,” adding that he "would welcome an early meeting with your organisations to discuss the issues that you have raised.

“I am a strong believer that engaging in meaningful dialogue is crucial to finding effective solutions and resolving disputes and I am clear that such a meeting would be just the start of a fruitful ongoing exchange on eradicating antisemitic behaviour and discourse within the Labour Party."
