A Labour MP has revealed the "horribly antisemitic abuse" she received after visiting the Israeli embassy to discuss Gaza.

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan was invited to discuss her campaign to pressure Israel to relax the system it operates which forces Palestinians to acquire a humanitarian entry permit before they can obtain healthcare in the country.

But after she tweeted last week to say the meeting had taken place, she received anti-Jewish abuse from "those purporting to support the Palestinian cause".

She tweeted pictures on Tuesday of the messages she received, which included calling her "a complete hypocrite, bought and paid for by the Israel lobby".
