Our MAP response on the ICC arrest warrants.

The UK must not be an ally to these atrocities.

@medicalaidpal.bsky.social
Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) statement on International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants 21 November 2024 ‘We welcome the decision of the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for war crimes including “starvation as a method of warfare” and “the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts”. Israel's ongoing violations against Palestinians have been emboldened by decades of impunity and the attacks on Gaza in the past year have devastated the health system and caused enormous civilian suffering. This must be a turning point for Gaza and the broader region. We urge the UK Government to ensure that arrest warrants are upheld, to review all relations with Israel in light of this decision, and to suspend immediately all arms licences and transfers. Palestinians can wait no longer for justice and protection under the law, and the UK must not be an ally to atrocities.’
