Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the British Labour Party, has called on the UK government to support the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Al Jazeera reports.

“Many people are very pleased that the government of South Africa has taken an initiative in going to the International Court of Justice in order to hold Israel to account for the deaths of so many wholly innocent people in Gaza,” Corbyn said in the UK parliament.

“Cannot the government understand that and at least support South Africa’s process?” Corbyn questioned.
