Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn is set to introduce a parliamentary Bill on 4 June calling for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Tabled under the Ten Minute Rule—a parliamentary mechanism that allows MPs to propose new legislation in a short speech lasting up to ten minutes — the bill seeks to examine UK political, military and economic support for Israel since October 2023.

Corbyn confirmed the move in a statement on social media, writing: “It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?”
