Israel is starving the people of Gaza to death, while continuing to unleash major assaults on the population. The situation on the ground is catastrophic.
Compounding this, Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu has announced plans to invade the Gaza Strip, causing outrage around the world.
CND continues to demand that the UK government implement a full arms embargo on Israel now, end all military cooperation, expel all diplomats and impose sanctions.
Protest
As the government continues to suppress the movement for Palestine we must continue to call for an end to the genocide and for the UK to stop arming Israel.
Please join us for the next national march in central London, which will take place on Saturday 6th September – see you there!
A nuclear weapons-free Middle East
A nuclear weapons-free Middle East is central to peace in the region. Click here to support CND’s call for the UK government to work towards this!
Israel refuses to acknowledge that it has nuclear weapons – estimated to be approximately 90 warheads – and also refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). It uses the threat of its nuclear arsenal to act with impunity across the region. International pressure needs to build on Israel to join the NPT and take steps to disarm its nuclear weapons.
For a decade, a UN-led framework to contain Iran’s civil nuclear programme, the Joint Comprehensive Programme of Action (JCPoA), has been in place. However, this was sabotaged by Trump in 2018. Current talks must re-establish this framework.
The British government should be working within the UN to secure a nuclear weapons-free Middle East treaty.
