UK parliament to debate pro-Israel influence on domestic politics
UK lawmakers will debate the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups on domestic politics on Monday and discuss whether to launch a public inquiry into the issue.
A petition supporting an inquiry has received more than 118,000 signatures.
It states that the role of pro-Israel groups in UK politics needs to be examined because of the government’s lacklustre response to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and a surge in settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
In a statement in April, the UK government said it did not support a public inquiry.
