Parliament to debate Israel's 'improper influence' in British Politics

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

British Prime Minister Theresa May has arrogantly dismissed calls for an Inquiry into allegations of 'improper' Israeli political 'influence' in British political and public life. Mrs May says the 'matter is now closed'

Well I say, No, no it isn't Mrs May.
This MUST be debated in Parliament,
The secretly filmed footage included footage of Shai Masot, a senior political officer based in the embassy, and who was forced to resign after being exposed discussing “taking down” foreign office minister Alan Duncan because he was causing "problems".
An Inquiry into just how much influence is cast by the Israeli lobby in Britain must be launched, via debate.
When this petition reaches 100,000 signatories, it will force the issue into the spotlight where it can be debated once and for all.
