Jeremy Corbyn demands urgent clarification on British soldiers deployed in Gaza

British MP Jeremy Corbyn addressed the foreign secretary on Tuesday demanding “urgent clarification” on whether or not British soldiers were being deployed on the ground in Gaza. 

“I asked the [foreign office] minister if he could assure the House that there are no British soldiers on the ground in Gaza. The minister refused to answer,” he wrote in the letter. 

“The minister’s failure to provide this assurance is extremely alarming. More than 15,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including 6,000 children.” he continued. 

“The UK government already provides ample political support to an Israeli army that is committing war crimes in front of our eyes. Could you confirm whether the UK government is providing military personnel too?” he adds.
