The Edmonton MP saw her suspension by Labour lifted as she issued a new apology for the 'inappropriate' remarks she made earlier this year.
Labour restored the whip to Kate Osamor today following a row over her calling for Israel 's action in Gaza to be remembered as 'genocide' on Holocaust Memorial Day.
She wrote there was an 'international duty' to remember the victims of the Holocaust as well as 'more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and now Gaza'.Ms Osamor's three-month suspension has now ended following an internal party investigation, Labour confirmed this afternoon. Ms Osamor said: 'I am grateful to the Labour Party for their investigation into my conduct and I accept the outcome in full.
In January, shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said it was not acceptable for Ms Osamor to bracket the Holocaust alongside current events in Gaza.'But there are specific reasons why the Holocaust is considered as it is. It's important on Holocaust Remembrance Day to remember that. She told Jewish News the 'disgusting post' by Ms Osamor was 'a malicious distortion of the truth, a painful insult to survivors of the Holocaust and particularly distressing to see on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day'.
