Sign PSC’s new petition to Foreign Office

Posted: 2nd April 2024

Earlier today Israel attacked an aid convoy in the Gaza Strip as it returned from delivering desperately needed food to a starving population. At least three British nationals were among the humanitarian workers murdered in this attack, adding to the more than 32,000 Palestinians who have been killed by Israel since October.

Preventing aid from reaching Palestinians, and using starvation as a weapon of war, is just one of the many war crimes Israel is committing in its genocidal assault on Gaza. Over the last two weeks Israel has laid siege to al-Shifa hospital, killing over 400 Palestinians and leaving the key medical facility in ruins.

The UK government is entirely aware of these war crimes, and – according to leaked Tory information – has received legal advice that Israel is breaking international law. Although this seems obvious, such legal advice is significant as it would require the government to stop exporting weapons to Israel under the UK’s Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. Please help us expose this and demand the UK stops arming Israel.

Sign PSC’s new petition to Foreign Office

Over 200,000 of you joined us marching through the streets of London last weekend, but we still need more pressure on the UK government to end its complicity with Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza. Please take 2 minutes to sign PSC’s new petition calling on the government to immediately stop the UK-Israel arms trade, and to publish any legal advice it has received about Israel breaking international law.

In solidarity,

James
