The image shows Abbott amongst a group of men, all posing with a platter of meat.
In a statement to Reuters, Abbott said: “This is a very poor fake, either designed to insult the Mission, or attempted to embarrass me, or both.
It is completely fake news.”The Palestinian diplomatic mission did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Reuters found no reports, social media posts or other visual content about Abbott making a visit to the mission.
There is no evidence Diane Abbott visited the Palestine Mission with a platter of pork as a gift.
