Jeremy Corbyn to lead ‘Gaza tribunal’ into UK role in Israel’s war

Organisers said Labour MP Richard Burgon and journalists who have reported on the ground and from afar will also participate, including investigative reporter Matt Kennard, who has been tracking the UK’s surveillance flights over Gaza.

On Thursday and Friday, at London’s Church House, Westminster, they will join various panels, with subjects including the UK’s legal responsibilities.

“The public deserves to know the full scale of their government’s complicity in genocide. That is why we are holding The Gaza Tribunal. We will uncover the truth,” the website of the initiative says.

The push follows Corbyn’s failed attempt for an official measure akin to the Iraq Inquiry, by John Chilcot, which investigated the UK’s role in the Iraq war.
