Set up an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war in Gaza

Closed 4,070 signatures

What the petition asks

We urge the Government to set up an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war in Gaza, including arms sales, military support, and political actions. We believe the public deserves transparency, and that a democratic country should be accountable for its role in conflicts.
We believe a democratic government must be transparent and accountable to the people. We believe citizens have the right to know how their taxes are used. Many consider that the UK’s involvement in the Gaza war raises serious legal and ethical concerns. We believe a full independent inquiry is necessary to ensure accountability and uphold the principles of democracy and justice.
