Closed petition: Hold a national referendum on the UK’s diplomatic relationship with Israel.

Closed on 3 July 2025

We call on the Government to hold a national referendum on the UK's relationship with Israel. We think this would allow the British public to decide whether to continue current relations in light of the concerns many have about Israel’s actions.

UK relations with Israel have come under scrutiny due to many being concerned about allegations of war crimes and compliance with international law. We think this raises ethical and legal questions regarding the UK's support and diplomatic relations with Israel. By holding a national referendum, we think we would empower British citizens to express their stance on whether these ties should continue, be revised, or severed entirely, helping to ensure that the UK's foreign policy aligns with values and will of its people.
