  • Wes Streeting has told Israel to “put your own house in order" following criticism from the Israeli embassy in the UK.
  • The Israeli embassy said it was "deeply disturbed" by an anti-IDF chant, "death, death to the IDF", performed by the group Bob Vylan at Glastonbury festival.
  • Mr Streeting described the performance as "appalling", but urged Israel to address the conduct of its citizens and settlers in the West Bank.
  • He stated that while he takes the embassy's point seriously, he wishes Israel would "take violence against Palestinians more seriously".
