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

A petition by Your Party calling for a public inquiry into "British complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza" has received more than 100,000 signatures, passing the threshold for it to be considered for a debate in parliament.

The petition was launched by Your Party chair Jenn Forbes on 23 October and urges an independent public inquiry with the power to question British ministers and officials.

Jeremy Corbyn, Your Party's parliamentary leader, said: "One hundred thousand people have signed this petition because they want the truth about Britain’s complicity in genocide. They deserve answers, and the Palestinian people deserve justice."

Corbyn added: "What weapons were supplied to Israel? What intelligence was gathered over Gaza, and how was it used? What legal advice did ministers receive, and what decisions did they take?
