Corbyn Refuses To Condemn Hamas After Attack On Israel

The former Labour leader said that "all attacks are wrong", and repeated his call for an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine. "Which, of course, is fundamentally the background to the whole issue,” Mr Corbyn said. “I don’t support any attacks, therefore I criticise them all,” he added. However, asked by ITV News, Mr Corbyn stopped short of directly condemning the terrorist group he had previously called “friends” – a comment he later said he regretted.

It comes on the opening day of Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool, which is taking place against a backdrop of fighting between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants.
