As Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza continues, the International Court of Justice has ruled Israel’s presence on occupied Palestinian territories to be in breach of international law. Meanwhile, the country remains under investigation for genocide at the ICJ.
Despite this, the newly elected government has announced its intention to deliver new trade talks with Israel.
Britain’s existing trade deal with Israel is supposedly based on respect for human rights. But it’s hard to imagine what other crimes a state would need to commit before these human rights clauses were activated, and the trade deal suspended.
Ireland and Spain have already demanded a review of the EU's trade deal with Israel on human rights grounds.
We can’t let the UK be complicit in Israel’s war against Palestinians. Will you write to the UK government to urge the UK government to suspend all trade talks with Israel?
