Liverpool MP Kim Johnson has apologised for comments she made about Israel during Prime Minister's Questions today.
Ms Johnson, who represents the Liverpool Riverside constituency for Labour, spoke in the House of Commons, where she described Israel's government as "fascist" and referred to the country as an "apartheid state."
During Prime Minister's Questions, Ms Johnson said: "Since the election of the fascist Israeli government last year, there has been an increase in human rights violations against Palestinian civilians, including Children, can the Prime Minister tell us how he is challenging what Amnesty and other human rights organisations are referring to as an apartheid state?"
