Wes Streeting has been targeted by a poster claiming that a vote for the Labour Party is a "vote for genocide" in his home constituency in east London.
Taped to a bus stop in Ilford, the poster shows a box on a ballot paper, with the phrase "vote for genocide, vote Labour" above it.
The poster was positioned opposite a Jewish bakery near Gants Hill, Ilford.
While it is not known who was responsible for putting up the poster, a picture of it was shared on social media by The Newham Independents, a group from a neighbouring borough.

The Labour Party has faced criticism for its stance on the Israel-Hamas war, refusing to call for an all-out ceasefire.
But it is also battling accusations of antisemitism this week after Rochdale by-election candidate Azhar Ali was accused of suggesting that Israel deliberately relaxed its security in October, ahead of the Hamas attacks, following warnings of an imminent threat.
While Graham Jones, the former Labour MP for Hyndburn who lost his seat in 2019 and is seeking to stand again, is alleged to have said that UK citizens who volunteer to fight for the Israeli Defence Forces "should be locked up" and that it was "illegal" for them to fight for Israel, according to the website Guido Fawkes.
Jones, a former Labour MP who lost his seat in 2019, was seeking to stand again for the Labour Party. He was administratively suspended from the party last night, pending investigation, GB News understands. The former MP was called in for an interview last night.
Sources told Guido Fawkes that he allegedly claimed UK citizens who volunteer to fight for the Israeli Defence Forces "should be locked up". He is also alleged to have said it was "illegal" for them to fight for Israel.
Starmer was accused of being "complicit" in a "disgusting display of antisemitism" by a group of Tory MPs yesterday, who sent a joint letter calling for a list of names of those present at the meeting. They also asked whether any Labour members present reported the meeting to party authorities.
In a statement alongside the letter, former Tory chairman Jake Berry said: "It is vital that the Labour Party reveals who has been complicit in this disgusting display of antisemitism and did nothing to call it out.

"Labour claims to have changed. This proves that whatever they say, Keir Starmer is just the new leader of Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party."
Starmer initially stood by Ali but he later withdrew his support for the candidate on Monday evening, saying "new information" had emerged.
