Demand a Permanent Ceasefire and an End to Israeli Impunity

Despite an agreement in January to work towards a ceasefire, Israel’s renewed military onslaught has killed over 2,500 civilians, shattering an already fragile ceasefire. Palestinians are being bombed and starved as Israel has blocked all aid into Gaza since 2nd March and cut off electricity. This blatant act of collective punishment is only made possible because the UK and other allies have repeatedly failed to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law. Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people have always been made possible because of the impunity they enjoy, and there will be no end ...

Despite an agreement in January to work towards a ceasefire, Israel’s renewed military onslaught has killed over 2,500 civilians, shattering an already fragile ceasefire. Palestinians are being bombed and starved as Israel has blocked all aid into Gaza since 2nd March and cut off electricity. This blatant act of collective punishment is only made possible because the UK and other allies have repeatedly failed to hold Israel accountable for clear violations of international law. Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people have always been made possible because of the impunity they enjoy, and there will be no end to Palestinian suffering without an end to this devastating cycle of impunity.

A Humanitarian Catastrophe 

For nearly 18 months, Israel’s relentless bombardment and siege have killed over 52,000 Palestinians and injured more than 118,000. The humanitarian conditions in Gaza have reached catastrophic levels:

  • 90% of Gaza's population faces extreme food shortages, with famine looming due to Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid

  • Nearly 1.9m people have been forcibly displaced, repeatedly

  • The majority of hospitals have been destroyed or rendered inoperable, leaving millions without medical care

  • Deliberate attacks on Gaza's water infrastructure leaving millions without access to clean water

Palestinians have been systematically starved, forcibly displaced under threat of gunfire and airstrikes, and deliberately targeted while sheltering in schools and hospitals. They have been stripped of everything they need to survive.

The Role Of Impunity In Enabling Israel's Atrocities And The UK's Complicity

Despite overwhelming evidence of atrocity crimes, the UK government has not only failed to take adequate action - but it has also enabled these crimes by supplying arms and military equipment, provided diplomatic cover and obstructed ceasefire efforts at the UN. By withholding meaningful pressure, the UK has helped create a permissive environment in which Israeli actions continue unchecked.

As an ally of Israel and permanent member of the UN Security Council, the UK bears special responsibility. Continued diplomatic platitudes are insufficient. The UK must end all arms sales, impose sanctions on those responsible for war crimes, and demand a permanent ceasefire and unrestricted aid access.

Gaza’s destruction is systematic, aiming to render it uninhabitable. By refusing to confront these crimes, the UK aids their continuation. True commitment to international law requires action, not rhetoric. Without accountability, peace is impossible. The UK must end its complicity by leading efforts to enforce international law and end the impunity that sustains Israel’s violations. Only then can a just resolution be achieved.

Demand a Permanent Ceasefire and an End to Israeli Impunity

Sign our petition urging the UK Government to: 

  • Take decisive action to demand and enforce a permanent ceasefire, ensuring an end to hostilities and the protection of civilians.
  • Demand and enforce immediate and unimpeded access to humanitarian aid and hold Israel accountable for any violations, including using all diplomatic and economic levers to pressure Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid, ensuring the unimpeded flow of food, water, fuel, and medical supplies into Gaza. 
  • Immediately end ALL arms sales to Israel, to prevent UK complicity in and facilitation of violations of international law. The UK must take its international obligations seriously and ensure that UK-made weapons are not used to commit human rights violations.
  • Hold perpetrators of atrocity crimes and other grave violations of international law accountable for their actions. It must publicly commit to upholding arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court and push for independent investigations into war crimes committed in Gaza and the West Bank, ensuring that those responsible face justice.
  • Take meaningful and sustained action to address the root causes of the issue by immediately outlining how the UK will abide by the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 ruling that Israel’s illegal occupation must be ended as soon as possible. Diplomatic efforts should focus on a just and lasting political solution, including ending the occupation, and taking meaningful action towards justice and accountability for Palestinians.
