Sadiq Khan apologised to the Chief Rabbi for implying his Gaza ceasefire criticism was motivated by being Muslim. He expressed disappointment over the criticism from Jewish leaders, citing a different response to Greater Manchester mayor's call.
Khan asked Jewish critics to reflect on their response, hinting at bias due to names. He acknowledged the different standard he faces as a London mayor of Islamic faith during an election campaign.
In his apology statement, Khan expressed regret for his comments, acknowledged the support of Jewish leaders in uniting the city, and admitted to being held to a different standard as a Muslim mayor.
