Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the UK's Labour Party, accused both the IDF and Hamas of being terrorist groups in an article he wrote for Tribute Magazine. He compared the Israel-Hamas conflict to the conflict that divided Ireland and highlighted the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Corbyn insisted that a ceasefire is the first step to a just and lasting peace, and called for dialogue between the people of Israel and Palestine. He also mentioned the need for Palestinians to decide who governs them in the Gaza Strip. However, a recent poll found that a majority of Palestinians in Gaza supported the October 7 attack and exclusively supported a single Palestinian state.
