Rejected petition: Stop all arms exports to Israel immediately and help to seek ceasefire in Gaza.
Rejected on
The UK must not be complicit in violence. Halting arms exports will pressure for peace and uphold international law. The Government should use all diplomatic channels to demand an immediate ceasefire, protect civilians, and support a lasting political solution.
The UK must not enable actions that contribute to humanitarian crises. Exporting arms to conflict zones undermines our values and international law. Urgent action is needed to protect civilians, uphold human rights, and push for a just and lasting peace in the region.
