It seems the government (with 100% support from Labour) is going to adopt the definition of antisemitism that was agreed in May at the conference of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (European countries but not Russia + USA, Canada and Israel).

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

Whilst most of this looks fine, in practice it also accepts the Israeli government view that criticism of Zionism should be considered anti-semitic. It does that through the definitions that relate to the State of Israel where - although it says criticism of the Israeli government is not anti-semitic - it treats the State of Israel as if it was any other 'liberal democracy'. It isn't. It is based on a Zionist ideology (that is political not religious), and although it has open elections it has constructed an apartheid system that gives greater rights and privileges to Jewish citizens.

Much of the recent debate about (a real rise in) antisemitism in Europe and north America has been about finding ways to gag pro-Palestinian campaigners, cynically using a warped appeal to anti-racism/antisemitism to silence political opposition to the Israeli government. It appears from the brief quote from Labour that they have been completely spooked by attacks on Livingstone/Shah/Momentum/Corbyn/Chakrabarti etc and have surrendered the argument to John Mann and his like in the party.
