The British-Nigerian minister, MP Kate Osamor, has been suspended following her accusation that Israel’s actions constitute ‘genocide’ on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day. Osamor, representing Edmonton, faced backlash for suggesting in her weekly newsletter that Gaza should be included in the category of ‘recent genocides.’
In a post on her X handle, Osamor shared a photo of herself signing the Holocaust Education Trust’s commemoration book in Westminster. She wrote, “Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day, an international day to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, the millions of other people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups and more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and now Gaza.”
However, her comments sparked criticism from organizations such as the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Labour Movement, and the Holocaust Educational Trust.
In response to the controversy, a Labour source informed MailOnline on Sunday that the Chief Whip has suspended Osamor from the Parliamentary Labour Party pending an investigation.
