Jeremy Corbyn launches Gaza tribunal to probe UK role in Israeli war crimes

Former Labour leader and Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn has launched a two-day public Gaza Tribunal to investigate alleged British complicity in the Israeli genocide in Gaza. 

The tribunal will feature testimony from UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, medics who volunteered in Gaza, aid workers, experts, and survivors. Witnesses, journalists, former diplomats, and academics will also give evidence, with the inquiry livestreamed by Middle East Eye.

Ahead of the event, Corbyn said: "Just like Iraq, the government is doing everything it can to protect itself from scrutiny. Just like Iraq, it will not succeed in its attempts to suffocate the truth.

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

The tribunal aims to hold the UK accountable for its role in enabling Israel’s ongoing attacks in Gaza, highlighting both political and humanitarian failings.
