Lib Dem peer Jenny Tonge has been summoned for talks with her leader after
saying her party was "probably in the grip" of the pro-Israel lobby.
Ms Tonge said: "The pro-Israeli lobby has got its grips on the western
world, its financial grips. I think they've probably got a grip on our
party."

Senior Lib Dem officials said they were "deeply disturbed" by the remarks.

*Norman Lamb, chief of staff to the Lib Dem leaders, said: "We will be
seeking a meeting between Jenny, Ming Campbell and Tom McNally, our leader
in the Lords, at the earliest opportunity to seek an explanation.". Gavin
Stollar, a spokesman for the Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel, said:
"Jenny Tonge's original support for suicide bombers in Israel got her sacked
from the front bench. I think her vulgar repetition and rhetoric means that
her position within the party needs to be seriously reviewed."
