Critics of the UK's involvement in the Gaza war are planning an independent tribunal should Labour block a proposed inquiry led by Jeremy Corbyn. The government has expressed no intention to hold an inquiry. Many NGOs are backing Corbyn's proposal, highlighting the urgent need to address whether the UK has contributed to potential violations of international humanitarian law since October 2023. Recently, UK courts rejected an effort to stop indirect sales of F-35 components to Israel, citing it as a complex political issue rather than a legal one.
