Petition Commit to cutting diplomatic ties with Israel if the Rafah offensive goes ahead
We believe the UK has the responsibility to protect the displaced Palestinian refugees who are facing one of the worst humanitarian crises of our lifetime. With widespread reports of famine, disease and no medicines we think it is imperative that a comprehensive permanent ceasefire is reached.
More details
We believe the UK government is complicit in condoning the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. The UK must use strong diplomacy to stop the offensive. The planned Rafah offensive has been condemned by leaders over the world and yet the Israeli government plans to press ahead. Rafah is now hosting over 1 million vulnerable Palestinian refugees who have nowhere left to go. We believe the UK must pressure Israel into stopping this war before more women, men and children are killed.
