Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken the unusual step of criticising a UK opposition politician after pictures emerged showing the Labour Party leader at a 2014 wreath-laying ceremony for terrorists who killed Israeli athletes in the 1970s.
In a tweet, the Israeli leader said that Jeremy Corbyn deserved the "unequivocal condemnation" for his part in the ceremony, which took place at the grave of the perpetrators of the 1972 Munich massacre, in which 11 Israeli Olympians were murdered by Palestinian militants.
