Petition for inquiry into UK ‘complicity’ in Gaza genocide passes 100,000 threshold

A Your Party petition calling for a public inquiry into alleged British complicity in Israel’s actions in Gaza has passed 100,000 signatures, making it eligible for consideration for a parliamentary debate. Jeremy Corbyn said signatories deserve answers about Britain’s role and called for an independent inquiry with powers to question ministers and officials.

Launched by party chair Jenn Forbes on 23 October, the petition asks what weapons and intelligence Britain supplied and what legal advice ministers received. The article says successive UK governments maintained that surveillance flights over Gaza and intelligence sharing were for hostage rescue. UK-Israel relations have recently worsened, including a pause in cooperation under their 2030 roadmap; a tribunal co-chaired by Corbyn called for sanctions, an end to military cooperation and an official inquiry.
