JEREMY CORYBN is to host a “Gaza tribunal” to establish the full scale of British complicity in Israel’s genocide.

The tribunal, to be held over two days in September, will hear from witnesses and survivors, as well as a range of international law experts, lawyers and whistleblowers.

Mr Corbyn first made the call for an inquiry in a letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in March.

He presented the Gaza (Independent Public Inquiry) Bill to Parliament on June 4, which passed its first reading.

But on July, during its second reading, the government objected to the Bill, blocking any further progress despite it gaining the support of more than 50 MPs and numerous organisations.

Mr Corbyn said: “Just like Iraq, government ministers are doing everything they can to hide the truth.

“Just like Iraq, they will not succeed. They cannot stop the inevitable: a full and independent inquiry.

“We will uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide — and we will bring about justice for the people of Palestine.”

The Independent MP for Islington North’s tribunal announcement comes as more than 80 MPs and Lords demanded the government impose widespread sanctions on Israel today.

The 84 parliamentarians from nine parties have made the call over Israel’s repeated violations of international law.

They laid out their demands in a letter organised by MPs Richard Burgon and Imran Hussain, to Foreign Secretary David Lammy.

The letter marks the first anniversary of a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Israel’s presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) is “unlawful” and must end “as rapidly as possible.”

It includes calls for the government to suspend the Britain-Israel trade agreement, ban all goods and services with illegal Israeli settlements and end all arms sales.

The demands also include imposing targeted sanctions, including travel bans and asset freezes, on all individuals and entities complicit in Israel’s occupation.

Mr Burgon said: “Israel is committing war crime after war crime.

“We don’t need more empty words from the government calling on Israel to do the right thing.

“We need tough action to force Israel to end its atrocities against the Palestinian people.

“That means ending all arms sales and imposing widespread sanctions on Israel — just as were rightly imposed on Russia over Ukraine.”

The Foreign Office was contacted for comment.
