🚨STATEMENT: Following our meeting with the BBC Director-General.

In its coverage of Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza over the last 19 months, the BBC has not only failed in terms of impartiality - it has effectively legitimised an ongoing genocide.

Today we wrote to the Foreign Sec asking for urgent clarity - why is the UK Trade Envoy meeting Israeli officials to promote trade following last week’s announcement? Is this contradiction a renege on policy or what? Share below ⬇️

📄🚨👇🏾BRIEFING: Today, we mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba & its continuation in the form of Israel's genocidal onslaught in Gaza.

Today we wrote to Keir Starmer to express concern over recent statements by Donald Trump about plans for further ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

We urge the UK gov to unequivocally oppose these plans & end its own complicity in Israeli crimes.

These findings ought to further inform the British public... that its government is, in effect, engaged in military actions without being subject to parliamentary scrutiny, and that these actions implicate its institutions & officials in the gravest breaches of international law

The evidence, compiled from publicly available information, highlights the fact that the UK is not simply failing in its third party responsibilities to uphold international law; it is actively complicit in genocidal acts perpetrated against the Palestinian people.

Key quotes:

Amidst relief for our people in Gaza -whose courage has inspired the world- we focus on what must happen for a just & lasting peace. Onus remains on UK gov & int'l community to pursue accountability & centre Palestinians’ inalienable rights. Statement: shorturl.at/83QoZ
