Israel PM, UK opposition leader in row over Munich massacre

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn were locked in a row today over the Labour MP's attendance of an event that honoured suspects of the Munich Olympics massacre.

Corbyn has been accused of joining in a ceremony which included tributes to members of Black September, the group responsible for the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.

Netanyahu tweeted yesterday that "the laying of a wreath by Jeremy Corbyn on the graves of the terrorist who perpetrated the Munich massacre... deserves unequivocal condemnation from everyone - left, right and everything in between."
