Mark Regev, Israel’s ambassador to Britain, has said the antisemitism crisis engulfing the Labour party has “crossed a red line”.

In his first television interview since arriving in London, Mr Regev told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show that modern antisemites were targeting “the collective Jew”.

He was speaking as pressure over the party’s antisemitism crisis threatened Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.

The ambassador said he would “love” to meet Mr Corbyn to discuss the issue.
