Independent UK lawmaker and former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn stated on Tuesday that "Israel's" incursion into Lebanon amounts to "an invasion," while criticizing the UK for its failure to uphold international law.

"Israel's decision to send troops into Lebanon, a sovereign nation, is not a 'limited ground operation.' It is an invasion. Our government's hypocrisy is on full display," Corbyn wrote on X.

"Its failure to defend international law and stand up to Israel is a moral disgrace," he added.

It is an invasion.

Calls for an arms embargo on "Israel" have been increasing significantly over the past week.

"Israel's" aggression on Lebanon has so far resulted in thousands of martyrs, including Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. 

Observers warn that a greater escalation might ensue as a result of "Israel's" aggression, particularly since it began a "limited but targeted" ground invasion on Southern Lebanon.

UK suspended 30 arms export licenses

The UK recently suspended around 30 arms export licenses to "Israel" on September 2, following concerns about the potential use of military equipment in Gaza that could violate international humanitarian law.

This decision came after a review of "Israel's" compliance with international law during its military operations.

However, it was not a complete arms embargo, as dozens of other licenses remained unaffected.

Various human rights groups argued that the UK's partial suspension was insufficient.

They stressed that the remaining export licenses allowed continued arms sales that could still be used in operations violating international humanitarian law, particularly in Gaza.

Others argue that the suspension would have little real impact, as the majority of the arms export licenses remained in place, allowing military aggression to continue in various forms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on his part, condemned the UK’s decision, calling it "shameful" and arguing that it would not contribute to peace or security in the region.

He criticized the UK for what he saw as an unfair move targeting "Israel" while failing to address operations led by Palestinian resistance groups.
