‘End all arms sales to Israel, now’: Corbyn
Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the UK Labour Party and a human rights advocate, has reiterated his call for an end to all arms sales to Israel, amid criticisms of the UK's indirect involvement in the Gaza genocide.
Corbyn made the call in a post on X on Sunday where he shared the “last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.”
“In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now,” he wrote.

Several international bodies and UK campaign groups have repeatedly raised concerns about Israel’s use of military equipment in Gaza.
The regime’s ground and aerial offensive have killed over 45,500 Palestinians and left a trail of destruction across the Palestinian territory over the past eight months.
In September, the British government announced its decision to ban arms exports to the Israeli regime partially.
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament on September 2 that the partial ban would suspend 30 out of 350 arms export licenses for arms manufacturers supplying military equipment to the Israeli regime.
The suspension came after months of pro-Palestinian protests in London and other cities demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and also a halt in British arms sales to Israel.
Since the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, the UK, and to a much larger extent the US, has been supplying all kinds of arms and munitions to the Israeli regime.
Media reports have revealed many of the weapons and ammunition shipments of arms manufacturers' goods to the Israeli regime are done quietly, without formal notification of governments, or the public knowing about it.
The unofficial deliveries include thousands of rockets, missiles, a variety of bombs, rifles, munitions, and other weapons, and equipment.
London also claims that the UK sales exports of military equipment and goods to the Israeli regime are "relatively small" compared to the US.
