Piers asks Corbyn if Hamas should stay in power<\/h3>\n

Jeremy Corbyn clashed with Piers Morgan over Hamas in a heated interview tonight.<\/p>\n

The TalkTV presenter grilled the former Labour leader, who currently sits as an independent MP following an antisemitism row, on whether Hamas is a terror group and if they should remain in power in Gaza.<\/p>\n

But Mr Corbyn did not give a straight answer to either of the questions during the fiery exchange, which saw them repeatedly talk over each other.<\/p>\n

The journalist said: “Why won’t you say Hamas should go?”<\/p>\n

The Islington North MP replied: “Piers you have a very strange form of interviewing when you interrupt, shout and abuse your guest.”<\/p>\n

Morgan asked again: “Would you keep Hamas in power?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Corbyn said: “What I said was there has to be a ceasefire, a ceasefire has to be both sides, that ceasefire will then hopefully develop into a longer-term peace.”<\/p>\n

The pair then went back and forth over whether Israel would make peace with Hamas after its barbaric attacks on October 7.<\/p>\n

Mr Corbyn said: “Look if you want to have a discussion fine. If you want to just shout at me that’s your prerogative, your TV, your show.<\/p>\n

“Listen, what I said was a ceasefire means a ceasefire, it means both sides have to cease fire.”<\/p>\n

As Morgan continued to question him on whether Hamas should stay in power, a visibly irritated Mr Corbyn said: “Are you done yet?”<\/p>\n

Morgan said: “It’s a critical question. Should they stay in power? This country says they’re a terror group. Do you agree and should they stay in power?”<\/p>\n

Mr Corbyn insisted he does “not approve, support or welcome Hamas”.<\/p>\n
