UK lawmakers to debate influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups
UK lawmakers are set to debate the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups on British politics and consider calls for a public inquiry. The debate follows a petition with over 118,000 signatures, surpassing the threshold for parliamentary consideration, amid concerns about the government's response to the war in Gaza and settler violence in the occupied West Bank. The UK government has stated it does not support launching a public inquiry.
