Corbyn calls on the UK to stop supplying Israel with F-35 spare parts

British MP and former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has called on London to stop supplying F-35 spare parts to the Israeli occupation.

Corbyn said in a video: “So I’ve asked the government to stop supplying the parts for F-35 Jets. They’re trying to claim they cannot single out Israel to not supply those parts to. I think they’re wrong.”

“I’ve raised this in Parliament, I’ve written subsequently to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and I’ll carry on making that demand. We cannot be complicit in the supply of arms to Israel or the use of the Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri in Cyprus as a staging point for weapons delivery and the claim these dreadful things going on in Gaza are nothing to do with us. They’re everything to do with us.”

Calls have been made to the British government to stop supplying arms to the Israeli occupation army, especially as Israel is accused of carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

Britain has suspended 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel. It, however, exempted the indirect export of spare parts for the F-35 fighters, citing the impact it could have on these aircraft’s global programme.
