FILE PIC: Jeremy Corbyn takes part in a Palestine Coalition march in central London, January 31, 2026A PETITION calling for a public inquiry into Britain’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza smashed the 100,000 threshold for a parliamentary debate today.
Your Party is now demanding that Parliament makes time to debate the petition and that the government establishes a fully independent public inquiry into Britain’s involvement since October 2023.
The petition was launched by the party’s chair Jennifer Forbes just over two weeks ago on October 23 after the government blocked a Bill for an independent inquiry.
Your Party’s parliamentary leader Jeremy Corbyn MP, who tabled the Bill, 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.
“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?
“Parliament must now make time for this debate. But our demand remains a fully independent public inquiry with the power to question those responsible and expose the full extent of Britain’s involvement.
…
At 100,000 signatures, petitions are considered for debate by the House of Commons petitions committee, but reaching the threshold does not automatically guarantee a debate or establish an inquiry.
Your Party said that the milestone sends a clear message that the public will continue demanding answers about decisions taken in their name.
