“We reiterate our demands for the government to enforce the ICC arrest warrants, impose sanctions, & end arms sales to Israel.”
The Independent Alliance of MPs have released a statement on the UN Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People calling for the UK Government to end complicity in the genocide in Gaza. You can read the statement published below:
On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we call on our government to end its participation in the genocide in Gaza.
In a just world, we would set aside a day to celebrate the contributions, culture and creativity of the Palestinian people. Instead, year after year, we find ourselves reaffirming our support for their basic humanity, because they are still denied the right to self-determination enshrined in international law.
At first, it was bomb after bomb. Then it was town after town. Now it is generation after generation. Still, the UK government denies there is a genocide in Gaza. Still, the government exports weapons to Israel, whose leader is wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity. Still, the government refuses to recognise the state of Palestine.
Today, we reiterate our demands for the government to enforce the ICC arrest warrants, impose sanctions, and end arms sales to Israel.
We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, today and every day, until there is a free and independent Palestine.
