In a recent interview, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn criticized the UK government, led by Keir Starmer, for its ongoing arms supplies to Israel. Corbyn condemned Israel’s destruction of Palestinian life and infrastructure, recounting his experience visiting a school in the Jalabiya refugee camp years ago. The school, now destroyed, had once been a place of hope for children whose lives have since been shattered.
Corbyn highlighted the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where famine, polluted water, and inadequate medical supplies have left many suffering. He pointed to the staggering death toll and argued that military support for Israel is in direct violation of international law, as the arms are being used to target civilians. Corbyn urged the UK government to stop supplying weapons, stressing the need for a political solution that respects international humanitarian law.
