The Israeli embassy has said it's "deeply disturbed" by chants of "death to the IDF" at Glastonbury - as police also investigate the incident.

Video shows one of the members of Bob Vylan shouting the slogan into the mic and some of the crowd joining in.

The duo were performing ahead of a performance by Kneecap, the Irish act who the prime minister said should be ditched from the line-up.

"The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival," a statement said.

It said slogans like Saturday's chant "advocate for the dismantling of the State of Israel".

The post on X added: "When such messages are delivered before tens of thousands of festivalgoers and met with applause, it raises serious concerns about the normalisation of extremist language and the glorification of violence."

Avon and Somerset Police said they are looking at whether a criminal offence was committed.

"Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the force said in a post on social media.

Bob Vylan also performed in front of a screen quoting a claim that Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to BBC boss Tim Davie for an "urgent explanation" about what due diligence it carried out into Bob Vylan.

A spokesman said the government strongly condemned the "threatening comments" by the group, whose X bio describes them as a "punk/rap/alt thing".

A BBC statement said: "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive.

"During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language.

"We have no plans to make the performance available on demand."

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch re-posted a clip of the incident and called it "grotesque".

"Violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked," she said on X.
