Corbyn leads calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Commons debate

JEREMY CORBYN demanded the government back justice for the Palestinian people today as MPs debated the Gaza crisis.
Urging the government to support a ceasefire in the impending UN security council vote, Mr Corbyn said an end to hostilities was vital to “stop escalation in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.”
He said without an end to Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, justice for Palestinian refugees and a halt to the siege of Gaza “we will be back here again” in the years ahead.
