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.
One day, there will be an inquiry. Does this government want to be remembered for getting in the way? It’s not complicated: if the government had nothing to hide, then it would not block our efforts to expose the truth.
“Delaying scrutiny will not make questions of complicity disappear. This issue is not going away — and we are not going anywhere until we have exposed the truth.”
The petition calls for an inquiry with the power to question ministers and officials about arms supplied to Israel, the use of RAF bases, intelligence gathered during RAF surveillance flights and the legal advice sought by the government on genocide.
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.
