Speaking to Palestinian Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq, Jeremy Corbyn says, “I want to know and I really do want to know who in the British government authorised the overflying of Gaza? Who in the British government authorised the delivery of weapons? Who in the British government knowingly provided weapons to a country that has been arraigned before the ICJ and the ICC?”

To these answer, the former UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is demanding a “Chilcot-style” inquiry into the British government’s participation in the Gaza genocide.

The Chilcot Report, officially titled the Iraq Inquiry, was an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the 2003 Iraq War, chaired by Sir John Chilcot.

The Report exposed intelligence failures, lack of planning and questioned the legal basis for the war.

Corbyn said he remains “constantly astonished” by the attitude of successive UK governments, which continue to enable Israel’s assaults on Gaza, an onslaught he describes as “a Second World War-Style carpet bombing.”

However if the government refuses such an inquiry, Corbyn says he will not be deterred from continuing to demand one by billing further parliamentary debates.

He also says an alternative would be a public inquiry inspired by the Russell Tribunal on the Vietnam War, “so we will have an open process with expert opinions, witnesses and evidence.”

Corbyn urged people everywhere to keep up the pressure on their governments to stop the genocide in Gaza. He emphasised the need to use every available avenue— street protests, raising awareness and protesting against Elbit Systems weapons factories in the UK in particular— to demand justice and accountability.
