A public petition calling for an independent investigation into Britain's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza has gathered over 100,000 signatures, officially reaching the threshold required to prompt consideration for a debate in the UK Parliament.
The petition, published on the official website of the British Parliament, demands a comprehensive investigation into all British involvement in military operations in Gaza.
Specifically, it calls for an investigation into the sale and supply of weapons, the deployment of surveillance aircraft, and the operational use of RAF bases to support the attack.
The initiative also requires any investigation to have the power to compel testimony from government ministers and security officials involved in decisions about arms exports.
The petition was launched by Jennifer Forbes, chair of the executive committee of Your Party - the left-wing political organization led in parliament by former Labor leader and veteran anti-imperialist Jeremy Corbyn.
