00:00 Yesterday I sent out a statement calling for a ceasefire, calling for peace and calling
00:06 for an end to the occupation of Palestine, which of course it is fundamentally the background
00:11 to the whole issue.
00:12 Obviously all attacks are wrong.
00:13 But do you condemn Hamas?
00:14 Thank you, I think I've made my point.
00:15 I think I've made my point very clearly.
00:16 Excuse me, we haven't quite made the point.
00:17 What the man is saying is exactly right.
00:18 I'm going to say it for the third time.
00:19 Yesterday I sent out a statement.
00:20 The man is right what he's saying.
00:21 We've made it very clear.
00:22 Take notice.
00:29 I wanted peace, I wanted a ceasefire and I wanted a process which ended the Israeli
00:36 occupation of Palestine, which is fundamental to the war.
00:39 I don't support any attacks.
00:40 Therefore I criticise the war.
00:41 And that I think is the end of the matter.
00:42 Thank you.
00:43 Jeremy Corbyn, do you want Keir Starmer to be the next Labour leader?
