Rejected petition Sanction Israel over war crimes including the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar.

It is time for the UK Parliament to vote on levying sanctions and other penalties against Israel until such time it respects the two-state solution and ceases war crimes against Palestine.

More details

The UK currently supports the two-state solution but refuses to criticise Israel for its illegal actions with regards to the Palestinians.

The UK currently does £7 billion in trade with Israel as well as having strong political ties.

Israel has repeatedly failed to work towards a two state solution and the time for action has come.

Their most recent failure is the violation of the Geneva convention with relation to the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar.

It is time for the UK Parliament to vote on levying sanctions and other penalties against Israel until such time it respects the two-state solution.
