Rejected petition Place economic sanctions on the United States

The recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capitol has inflamed the Arab world and pushed the Israeli-Palestine towards further conflict. The apartheid regime in Israel will use this support to build more illegal settlements and justify encroachment on Palestinian land.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Sanctions are mainly put in place by the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU). You can find out more about sanctions and embargoes here:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/sanctions-embargoes-and-restrictions

You could start a new petition asking the UK to work with the UN and EU to impose trade sanctions on the United States of America, if that's what you want to happen.

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