UK lawmakers to debate influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups
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 on Monday and consider calls for a public inquiry into the issue. The discussion follows a petition that has attracted more than 118,000 signatures, surpassing the threshold required for parliamentary consideration. Supporters of the petition argue that the role of pro-Israel organisations in UK politics should be examined in light of the government's response to the war in Gaza and rising settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
