London – SABA:
The British Parliament on Wednesday approved the discussion of the “Gaza Bill,” which seeks to open an investigation into the British government’s potential involvement in the genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
Former Labour Party leader and MP Jeremy Corbyn submitted the bill today, according to the “Sanad” news agency.
Corbyn stated in media remarks: “Today I am presenting a bill to investigate Britain’s involvement in Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip.”
He added: “MPs must decide whether they will support an investigation into Britain’s role in genocide, or whether they will obstruct it.”
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer had earlier indicated that Britain is working with what he described as “allies” to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
In press statements on Wednesday, Starmer said, “The situation in Gaza is horrific, and aid must be allowed in.”
He expressed opposition to the Israeli assault on Gaza and the West Bank, stating: “We oppose the Israeli military operation in Gaza and settler violence in the West Bank. What Israel is doing is intolerable.”
With U.S. and European support, the Israeli occupation army has, since October 7, 2023, been committing acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,607 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and the injury of 125,341 others, according to non-final figures, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in streets unreachable by rescue teams.
