Former UK Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn yesterday condemned Israel's attack on the Palestinian Jenin camp, calling it "shameful". Corbyn praised the Palestinian people's steadfastness in dealing with the onslaught of the Israeli occupation.

In a previous interview with Al Mayadeen, the politician had expressed the desire to have at some point in his country a government capable of recognizing the historical error committed against the Palestinian people, and to commit itself to a more specific interpretation of the Balfour Declaration .

The document itself would have recognized the rights of Palestinian residents 75 years ago, but it has not been respected and the needs of this group have been ignored, the England politician said.

"The right of the Palestinian people is central to me," he said, also a lawmaker and advocate for other just causes around the world.On May 30, the British website Declassified UK revealed attempts by Western and Israeli media to tarnish Corbyn's image, accusing him of being anti-Semitic.
