Corbyn Calls on UK to Freeze Arms Sales to Israel

(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn renewed his call for a British arms embargo against Israel after a UN Human Rights Council commission of inquiry condemned Israel while ignoring Hamas violence at the Gaza-Israel border. Corbyn tweeted on Friday, "The UK government must unequivocally condemn the killings [in Gaza] and freeze arms sales to Israel." At the same time, U.S. special envoy Jason Greenblatt attacked the UNHRC report on Gaza in a series of tweets. "This report is another manifestation of the UNHRC's clear bias against Israel. Hamas behaved with reckless irresponsibility [and] disregard for human life when it incited VIOLENT protests, breaches [and] attacks at the Gaza fence-line. Hamas is directly responsible for the miserable situation of the people of Gaza."
