LONDON: The UK’s complicity in Israel’s war on Gaza has crossed into participation, an investigative journalist told the Gaza Tribunal on Friday.
Matt Kennard, an author and creator of the Palestine Deep Dive blog, has tracked hundreds of British surveillance flights over Gaza since the start of the war in October 2023.
His remarks came on the second day of the tribunal, which is taking place in London. It is chaired by independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, former leader of the governing Labour Party.
Speakers at the tribunal are examining allegations of genocide and war crimes against Israel, and exploring the UK’s potential complicity in them. It has heard testimonies from a range of medical, legal, political and humanitarian experts.
Kennard said the British government, responding to media reports over the past two years, had repeatedly been forced to reveal new levels of military ties to Israel during the Gaza war.
