Kate Osamor was criticised after saying in January that the war in Gaza should be remembered as genocide on Holocaust Memorial Day.

Labour has reinstated the whip to MP Kate Osamor following an investigation into her comments about Gaza on Holocaust Memorial Day. The Edmonton MP was suspended from the parliamentary party in January over the message she sent on the eve of the day marking the murder of six million Jewish people during the Second World War.

'Jury still out' Responding to her having the whip restored, the group said: 'Many in the Jewish community will be understandably reluctant to welcome the news of Labour's readmission of Kate Osamor, unless they see evidence to show that her apology is a sincere one. 'If Ms Osamor's remorse is genuine, she will now seek to work with mainstream Jewish groups, as well as key Holocaust charities, to understand why what she said was profoundly offensive to so many of us.
