URGENT: Stop the extermination of Palestinians in northern Gaza

Over a year into its genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military is now intensifying its massacres to forcibly displace the remaining Palestinian population in the north of Gaza – some 400,000 people.

The situation amounts to an existential threat to Palestinians remaining in northern Gaza.

Email the Foreign Secretary to demand the UK government take urgent steps, including imposing an arms embargo, to stop Israel's extermination campaign in northern Gaza.

Dear Foreign Secretary,
URGENT: Sanctions on Israel NOW to stop the extermination of Palestinians in northern Gaza.
Over a year into its genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military is now intensifying its massacres to forcibly displace the remaining Palestinian population in the north of Gaza – some 400,000 people.
Israeli forces have advanced into this area, effectively blocking the only three entrances and imposing a siege that has included heavy airstrikes and shelling, particularly targeting what is left of the Jabalia refugee camp. Israel has issued sweeping displacement orders – amounting to forcible transfer under international law - telling Palestinians to flee through already dangerous and overcrowded routes, hampering the ability of the already limited aid operations in northern Gaza.
The situation amounts to an existential threat to Palestinians remaining in northern Gaza.
This is a direct result of the total impunity Israel has been granted to violate international law and human rights at will. We are over a year into a genocide, yet the government continues to license the export of weapons and military technology which Israel uses to carry out its attacks.
The UK has a binding obligation to take urgent steps to prevent and deter further genocidal acts being committed against the Palestinian people.
The British government must apply every possible pressure on Israel to stop its attacks, lift its cruel siege, and allow immediate unfettered access for desperately needed humanitarian aid. This includes by:
<ol>
<li class="MsoNormal">Imposing an immediate two-way arms embargo on genocidal Israel. The government’s suspension of less than 10% of arms export licenses is clearly insufficient, with components for the F-35 fighter jet continuing to be exported.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Calling for the immediate suspension of Israel from the United Nations and other international fora. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Preventing companies operating, domiciled or headquartered in the UK from enabling Israel’s war crimes. This includes arms companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology, and financial institutions, like Barclays, which provide financing to these companies.</li>
</ol>
Residents of the UK were told this would be a government of change, where human rights would be at the top of the agenda. So far, you have woefully failed to live up to your promise, continuing to enable Israel to carry out mass atrocities against the Palestinian people. What will it take for you to act to fulfil Britain’s clear international obligations to cease complicity in these grave crimes?
