The UK Labour Party MP, Naz Shah, has been suspended from the party by mutual agreement of the members over the antisemitism row.

Party leader Jeremy Corbyn suspended Shah on Wednesday for endorsing anti-Israeli posts on social media before holding the position as a member of the parliament.

Commenting on Shah's suspension, UK PM David Cameron said that it was "extraordinary" that a person who had once suggested that the Israelis should be deported to the United States should be given a position in the Labour Party. 

Corbyn, however, had earlier said that he would not suspend the MP who had later given an apology for actions in the House of Commons, the Guardian reported. Corbyn's aid had although defended Shah saying that she had "shocker herself" and did not intend to say whatever she said.
