Did the Israeli Parliament recently hold a debate about Biafra?
Grok: Yes, the Israeli parliament (the Knesset) did hold a debate on Biafra. This occurred on February 18, 2026, in a session described as historic and the first formal high-level parliamentary discussion on the topic in decades (some reports claim the first in 50–56 years). The debate focused on the humanitarian situation in the Biafran region (southeastern Nigeria, primarily involving the Igbo people), allegations of ongoing suffering, persecution, killings, and calls for international intervention. It also touched on the imprisonment of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu and broader self-determination issues.
Key details from reports:
MK Ya'akov Margi (from the Shas party) initiated or led the discussion, passionately comparing the Igbo suffering to the Jewish Holocaust. He cited estimates of up to six million Igbo lives lost since 1967 (referencing the 1967–1970 Nigerian Civil War/Biafran War and subsequent events) and urged Israel to raise the issue in international forums, invoking a "Jewish conscience" against perceived double standards.
Lawmakers reportedly called on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu (and even U.S. figures like Trump) to intervene, framing it as a humanitarian obligation.
There were mentions of a Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs suggesting a committee to examine the Biafra situation.
The discussion highlighted historical parallels, including shared history claims between Israel and Biafra/Igbo people (some Igbo groups identify with Jewish heritage).
This has been widely shared and amplified in pro-Biafra circles, on platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), and YouTube channels focused on Biafran advocacy (e.g., IgbereTV, Radio Biafra Live, and others). It sparked calls for global attention to the Biafran cause.
Historically, the Knesset also debated the Biafran situation during the 1967–1970 war, focusing on whether it constituted genocide and humanitarian aid needs, with sympathy expressed but no major intervention due to diplomatic ties with Nigeria. The recent 2026 event appears to be a renewed push amid ongoing activism.

Grok or any AI read the same bullshit and false stories you read online. It will report a story as true if it read the story on a number of unrelated websites or pages.
In this particular case, all the referenced website are Facebook based and unreliable. No e of the channels are verified to be reliable or authority in what they publish.
All you have to do as a false news purveyor is post your news release on several channels with fair number of web visits and Grok or any AI will show such story as true on successful webcrawl.
Grok or any AI are not foolproof, they are as good as what they are fed too
Gabbage in, gabbage out!
