Israel has resumed its brutal military assault on Gaza. Governments must take action, end arms transfer to Israel and hold them accountable.
Following a 16 day blockade of humanitarian aid, Israeli forces have killed over 400 Palestinian people in one day. Israel’s most recent assault on Gaza only highlights the complicity of those governments who refuse to call out Israel’s actions. This violence is also now spilling over into the occupied West Bank.
Since October 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 60,000 Palestinian people and despite the International Court of Justice ruling their actions amount to a “plausible” risk of genocide, Israel has continued to act with impunity. Most Western governments, including those in the UK and US, have refused to call out Israel for their actions. Choosing to ignore the overwhelming evidence that International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law is being breached, these governments are allies to the atrocities.
Along with other international NGOs, including Medical Aid for Palestinians, Save the Children UK and Christian Aid UK, we are calling for the UK Government to end its complicity in Israel’s atrocities in the occupied Palestinian territories (OPT).
