Former UK Labour Party leader and current independent Member of Parliament Jeremy Corbyn submitted a bill on Monday calling for a public inquiry into the UK’s role in Israel’s war on Gaza, the Middle East Monitor reported.

“This bill is demanding an independent public inquiry into British policy,” Corbyn told Anadolu Agency. Supply of weapons, use of the Royal Air Force bases in Cyprus, failure to comply with the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court decisions, and the continued supply of components for the F-35 jets that could not fly if they did not have parts, 15% of its components made in Britain. So, we’re demanding that ceases.”

Corbyn said the bill has received significant public support. “There is a lot of support, particularly from people on the streets and the emails I’ve received from all over the country, indeed all over the world.”

Addressing Parliament, Corbyn urged colleagues to act. “I hope MPs will recognize today they’ve got an opportunity to speak up and be counted.”

He also appealed to the international community: “We’re watching the strangulation of the lives of two million people… History will judge those that stood by and did nothing when they could have done something.”
