Overview

• In an interview with the New Left Review, Zarah Sultana accused Jeremy Corbyn of having capitulated to the IHRA definition of antisemitism during his Labour leadership.
• She publicly embraced an anti-Zionist identity in a social media post, declaring “I say it loudly and proudly: I’m an anti-Zionist.”
• Jewish community organisations such as the Board of Deputies of British Jews and Campaign Against Antisemitism denounced Sultana’s critique of the IHRA definition as a grave insult and misrepresentation.
• The clash has exposed emerging divisions within the provisional Your Party leadership over antisemitism definitions, strategic direction and public messaging on Israel and Palestine.
• Despite reported sign-ups of over 800,000 and polling above 10 percent, the movement faces growing internal tensions as it heads into an autumn conference to formalise its structures.
