Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will host a two-day forum in London scrutinising the UK’s role in Israel’s war on Gaza.
The event, titled *The Gaza Tribunal*, will bring together medics who worked in Gaza, aid workers, survivors, legal experts, and Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory. Labour MP Richard Burgon and investigative journalist Matt Kennard, who has documented UK surveillance flights over Gaza, are among those expected to speak.

Scheduled for Thursday and Friday at Church House, Westminster, the tribunal will examine Britain’s legal responsibilities and its alleged complicity through arms supplies and intelligence-sharing. Organisers say the public deserves to know the full extent of government actions.
Mr. Corbyn, a leading pro-Palestinian voice, has repeatedly pressed for an inquiry similar to the Chilcot Review into Iraq. His June 4 parliamentary bill, supported by dozens of MPs and over 20 aid groups, was ultimately blocked by the Labour government.
