Hi John,
As Israel escalates its attacks on Gaza and deepens its violent occupation of the West Bank, and Donald Trump makes plans for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, the rest of the world must do more to stand with Palestinians.Â
Join us for a webinar on 13 May, for a discussion on why sanctions and economic pressure on Israel are a necessary response to Israel's genocidal attacks on Gaza and its long-standing illegal occupation of Palestine.

In this webinar, we’ll hear from Palestinian campaigners who have long been at the forefront of demands for economic sanctions to end international complicity in Israel’s violations of international law.Â
And as more MPs speak out in favour of sanctions to end UK complicity and hold Israel accountable for its war crimes, we’ll discuss how to put pressure on the government to achieve this.
We’ll also hear from the campaign calling on the UK government to urgently create a Gaza Family Scheme, for Palestinians from Gaza to reunite with loved ones in the UK.Â
Last year the International Court of Justice in the Hague made clear that all countries must act to deter genocide, and ensure that their trade relations don’t support Israel’s illegal occupation. The UK's obligation to act is clear.Â
Please join us online on Tuesday 13 May at 7pm where we’ll discuss how we continue building the campaign for sanctions on Israel’s war economy.Â
