Jeremy Corbyn: 'We cannot turn a blind eye to such wanton disregard for international law'

British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn considered the killing and wounding of dozens of unarmed protesters by Israeli forces in Gaza as "an outrage that demands not just international condemnation, but action to hold those responsible to account.

"This slaughter follows weeks of killings of Palestinian civilians demonstrating for their right to return, most of whom are refugees or the families of refugees," Corbyn wrote.

"Coming on the day President Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, it underlines the threat to peace posed by the continuing and intolerable injustices faced by the Palestinian people."

He asked the international community to put its collective authority behind achieving a lasting settlement that "delivers peace, justice and security for both Israelis and Palestinians, who have waited so long to achieve their rights."
