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.
However, the UK government said in a statement issued in April that it does not support launching a public inquiry into the matter.
