What the petition asks
We call on the Government to immediately establish a public, judge-led inquiry into British arms exports to Israel and to suspend licences during the investigation. Many are concerned that Israel has violated international law, and the inquiry should look at the role of UK components.
We are concerned about UK military exports to Israel since October 2023, and how they have been used. We believe a Chilcot-style inquiry is needed to examine export decisions and establish accountability. We consider that this is a legal, ethical, and humanitarian necessity.
