John,

The US and EU enabled horrors in Gaza won’t stop: this week, missiles rained down on displaced families sheltering in tents, killing dozens. 700 starving men, women, and children have been killed at food distribution sites in the past few weeks alone.

We CANNOT let this devastating violence continue in our name. And now, finally, we have a crucial opportunity to hold the Israeli government to account. In days, EU Foreign Ministers will meet to decide whether to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement – the deal that gives Israel privileged trade access to Europe.

This time, a suspension is actually on the table. And all eyes are on Italy as the country that could make or break this historic vote, giving us just 2 DAYS to tip the balance.

We’re rapidly ramping up a high-impact campaign in Italy – mobilising a massive wave of public outcry, briefing key journalists and diplomats, running targeted ads to keep the pressure, and flooding Italian media with our message.

But to keep going at this scale, we urgently need your help. Will you chip in now to help us push Italy to vote to suspend trade with Israel – and fuel Ekō’s bold campaigns for justice?

The pressure on Europe to act has reached a boiling point. Spain just revoked the export license of Israeli weapons manufacturer Rafael, halting a nearly $300 million deal to send Israel more missiles. Now, Spain’s FM is publicly calling on the rest of the EU to follow.

On July 15, EU foreign ministers will be presented with a list of measures to take against the Israeli government, the strongest of which is a suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement – something our community has been demanding for years. 

Together, we’ve helped push this moment to the brink of breakthrough and now we need to go all in. Italy’s vote is urgently needed to win a qualified majority, but Prime Minister Meloni and Foreign Minister Tajani are under huge pressure not to act. That’s why, over the next five days, we’re:

• Running targeted ads exposing the truth about EU-Israel trade and pushing Meloni and Tajani to act.

• Delivering public opinion polling we commissioned through rapid response media work to influence the debate as it happens.

• Holding briefings for diplomats, journalists, and key stakeholders to shift elite opinion.

Our team is racing to pull it all off, and if enough of us chip in today, we can supercharge our efforts in these final days – can you urgently help us finally hold Israel to account?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

For years our community has been advocating for an end to Israeli apartheid. From Ben and Jerry's to AXA, we've successfully pressured some of the world's biggest brands and financial institutions to stop investing in the illegal occupation. Let's do it again, and make sure the EU upholds its own standards when it comes to Israel's war crimes.
