Pro-Palestine alliance requests UK government to intervene in face of Gaza genocide
A coalition of six pro-Palestine groups has called on the British government to take action against Israel’s continuing genocide in the Gaza Strip, as Palestinians still face killing, starvation and displacement after nearly three years of a bloody onslaught, while British-funded humanitarian aid remains subject to Israeli restrictions.
“A year on from the UK’s recognition of the State of Palestine, that decision has yet to be matched by action,” the Palestinian Forum in Britain, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Friends of al-Aqsa, and Muslim Association of Britain said in a joint statement issued on Wednesday.
The government “must secure an end to Israeli attacks and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza. Across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem (al-Quds), settlement expansion, settler violence and restrictions on al-Aqsa Mosque continue to intensify; restrictions the government must act to end,” the statement added.
It noted that Britain’s commitment to international law cannot be hostage to Israel’s election timetable.
“Real action means confronting Britain’s own complicity: ending the arms trade with Israel, suspending military and intelligence support that facilitate violations of international law, and stopping British businesses, banks, universities and charities from supporting occupation or settlement activity — starting with a ban on trade connected to Israel’s illegal occupation and comprehensive sanctions on Israel,” the coalition pointed out.
The coalition also declared that they are coordinating a national march on October 10 in central London to commemorate three years of the continuing genocide.
They appealed to citizens throughout the country to come together in their demand for justice and to cease British involvement in the atrocities against the Palestinian people.
The genocide perpetrated by Israel in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 73,000 Palestinians and injuries to more than 174,000 individuals, predominantly women and children.
Additionally, the onslaught has led to extensive devastation throughout the coastal sliver, affecting approximately 90% of its infrastructure.
