Israel 'very troubled' by Corbyn run in British election

Reuters|
Israel voiced worry about Britain's election on Thursday, describing the possible rise of the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn as a threat to bilateral ties and alarming for British Jews.
Corbyn, a veteran pro-Palestinian activist, has been buffeted by allegations of anti-Semitism in Labour, with British media quoting some of the country's Jews as saying they would consider emigrating should he be elected.
"This (election) very much troubles us," Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely told Ynet TV. "It is true that we as a country cannot say we support this-or-that candidate, but Corbyn is a real danger to Israel-Britain relations, and I know British Jewry are very worried about this possibility."
