Petition Demanding UK Gaza Inquiry Crosses 100,000 Signatures
Your Party’s campaign to force a parliamentary debate on British involvement in Gaza has met the threshold for official consideration.
By Lucas Navarro ·
A campaign by the political group Your Party has surpassed 100,000 signatures, triggering the requirement for a debate in the UK Parliament. The petition seeks a public inquiry into what the group calls British complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Jenn Forbes, the chair of Your Party, launched the initiative on October 23. The document calls for an independent body with the authority to question British ministers and senior officials regarding their actions during the conflict.
Jeremy Corbyn, the parliamentary leader for Your Party, stated that the milestone reflects a demand for transparency. "One hundred thousand people have signed this petition because they want the truth about Britain’s complicity in genocide," he said. "They deserve answers, and the Palestinian people deserve justice."
Corbyn outlined specific questions for the proposed inquiry, including the weapons supplied to Israel, the intelligence gathered over Gaza, and the legal advice received by ministers. He argued that Parliament must schedule a debate, though the group’s primary goal remains a fully independent investigation with the power to expose the full extent of Britain’s involvement.
The push for scrutiny follows a tribunal co-chaired by Corbyn in late 2025. That body heard evidence from witnesses, United Nations rapporteurs, journalists, medics, and academics. It concluded that Britain failed in its obligation to prevent genocide and was an active participant in some Israeli war crimes.
Diplomatic relations between London and Jerusalem have strained in the last two months. Israel downgraded the UK’s consulate in East Jerusalem to a mission in response to sanctions on Israeli settlements announced by the government in September. The UK also paused cooperation under a 2030 bilateral roadmap signed in 2023.
Previous UK governments, including those led by the Conservatives and Labour, conducted hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza and shared intelligence with Israel. Successive administrations described the intelligence sharing as aiding hostage rescue efforts. Corbyn’s tribunal recommended economic sanctions, an end to military cooperation, and an investigation into British citizens who participated in war crimes.
