During the assembly Corbyn shared sobering statistics, noting an estimated 37,000 casualties, and 9,000 bodies found in the Gaza rubble. He stressed the need for immediate political action, claiming, “If we went to the funeral of every child killed in Gaza since October 7th, it would take 27 years to cover the total number.”
Corbyn criticised a perceived colonial mindset in parliamentary discussion, opposing calls for external governance in Gaza, including the appointment of a governor and government.
He urged instead to “build solidarity with the Palestinian people so they can decide their own future.” Rejecting the notion of external interference in Palestinian self-determination.
Corbyn, frustrated with parliamentary responses, acknowledged the influence of street-level activism, thanking global voices advocating for a ceasefire.
