Two women have appeared in court charged with harassing an MP about the ongoing war between Gaza and Israel.

The pair, aged 25 and 31 and both from Treforest, Rhondda Cynon Taf, spoke only to confirm their names and addresses at Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates' Court.

They are accused of shouting at Alex Davies-Jones, Labour MP for Pontypridd, in the street about Gaza and causing criminal damage to her office.

The trial has been arranged for 25 February at Cardiff Magistrates' Court and both women were released on conditional bail until then.
