Britain’s recent formal recognition of a Palestinian state is a historic step after decades of campaigning. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, speaking from London, hailed the move but emphasized the urgent need for action. He highlighted the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Britain’s continued military and economic ties to Israel, including supplying parts for F-35 jets and allowing RAF airbases to be used by Israeli planes.
Corbyn called for renewed political pressure on the British government to halt arms supplies and impose economic sanctions on Israel. He stressed the importance of global solidarity, noting that U.S. support for Israel increasingly isolates it internationally. Corbyn also condemned Israeli settlements in the West Bank as illegal under international law and part of a broader plan for occupation. Recognition of Palestine offers an opportunity to uphold human rights and enforce international law.
