Israel has unleashed a major assault across the Gaza Strip, killing over 400 Palestinians, including entire families. Israel has this morning issued forced evacuation orders for multiple neighbourhoods across Gaza, once again displacing many thousands, suggesting it plans to continue its bombardment. This follows 16 days of a complete blockade on the entry of all food, fuel and medical supplies.
The 17-month long genocide in Gaza never ended. During the two-month ceasefire, Israel repeatedly violated the agreement, killing 150 Palestinians in Gaza by drone strikes and sniper fire, while simultaneously causing starvation by imposing a complete blockade. Now, it has torn the agreement to shreds – dismantling it in front of the eyes of the world.
Yesterday, David Lammy finally admitted in Parliament that Israel’s blockade on Gaza was a “breach of international law”. But weak words are not enough. For months we’ve asked: How many thousands of Palestinians have to be slaughtered before David Lammy and Keir Starmer finally stop sending weapons to Israel? Yet Britain continues to export components for the F-16 and F-35 fighter jets used by Israel to conduct its bombing campaigns. We demand a full arms embargo on Israel now.
Join our emergency rally at 6pm at Downing Street as we demand: stop bombing Gaza, end the genocide, stop arming Israel.
