As Co-Chairs of the #BritainPalestineAPPG, @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social and I have written to the Prime Minister to express our horror at Israel's Knesset approving a law automatically sentencing Palestinians to death by hanging if found guilty by Israeli military courts of committing acts of terror.

The govt condemning Israel's death penalty law is welcome but this requires robust action.

The bill is further evidence of the potential crime of apartheid.

The UK should sanction those who have supported this bill and suspend the trade agreement with Israel.

Over 1 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes in Lebanon by Israel, that’s 20% of Lebanon’s population. The Gaza playbook used throughout its genocide against Palestinians is becoming ever more apparent in Lebanon.

Please write to your MPs

"Caabu is needed more than ever"

At our 7 March Iftar with @actionforhumanity.bsky.social

Israel has introduced major legal changes to facilitate further confiscation of Palestinian land.

I have joined MPs urging a total ban on trade with Israeli settlements and for further sanctions against settlers and settler groups.

Given that the UK's position in the last 50 years is that settlements are illegal and Israel cannot annex the West Bank, banning trade with West Bank settlements is really the absolutely minimal ask. It's pathetic that it hasn't happened.

Your Ramadan donation helps maintain direct pressure on MPs and ministers, so that we can continue to push the UK government to start to hold Israel accountable for the ongoing genocide and its regime of apartheid against Palestinians. www.caabu.org/news/news/ra...
