A debate on the Israel-Palestinian conflict at York University has been cancelled due to security fears.
The session, scheduled for Tuesday, would have featured a speech and questions and answers with former Labour councillor Luke Akehurst, who is also director of the campaign group We Believe in Israel.
However, the University of York Labour Club (UYLC) cancelled at late notice because it could not organise adequate security measures for the event in time.
Mr Akehurst, who is also seeking selection for Parliament in May’s general election, said: “It’s disappointing. This is the first time in 25 years I’ve ever not been able to go somewhere and deliver a speech."
