Five members of biggest British Jewish body suspended over Israel criticisms

Elected representatives of Board of Deputies were among signatories of open letter objecting to actions in Gaza Strip

Five elected representatives to the largest body representing British Jews have been suspended for two years after criticising the Israeli government's actions in Gaza.

All 36 signatories to an open letter published in April have been found to have breached the Board of Deputies' code of conduct after a two-month investigation.
