Rejected petition The UK will ban trade and international sporting fixtures between UK and Israel.

The ban may be lifted by Parliament after Israel begins to comply with the UN resolutions requiring Israel leaves the occupied territories of Palestine.
Israel's treatment of the Palestinians has been unacceptable for many years. Recent events on the Gaza border must stop.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you mean by "ban trade". If you'd like specific sanctions or embargoes, you could start a new petition asking for the action you'd like to see. You can find out more here:

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for all international sporting events. You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to urge all UK sports governing bodies to withdraw from competing against Israel, if that's what you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
