Words of concern from the UK Government are meaningless without action.
As Gaza's population is starved, displaced and bombed by Israel in plain sight, the UK Government must act now to end its complicity by suspending all arms transfers to Israel, including components for F-35 fighter jets used to rain terror on children.
They must hold the Government of Israel accountable for the harm children continue to face, as is demanded by their obligations under international law.
The UK condemns the decision by Israel’s Higher Planning Committee today to approve the E1 settlement plan.
If implemented, it would divide a Palestinian state in two, mark a flagrant breach of international law and critically undermine the two-state solution.
The Israeli government must reverse this decision.
