A speech by shadow foreign secretary David Lammy has been disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.
Ten minutes into his address at the Fabian Society conference on foreign policy in London, a woman climbed on stage carrying a Palestinian flag.
The demonstrators criticised Labour’s response to the war between Hamas and Israel.
Lammy’s speech was paused multiple times as security attempted to remove the hecklers.
The Free Palestine Coalition said in a statement that some of its members had infiltrated the event to “call out” Mr Lammy and his party.
“It’s difficult to see how Lammy is upholding any commitment to human rights or international law as we enter into the 106th day of Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza,” the group said.
