What the petition asks
Israel is allowing settlers to take possession of Palestinian homes. Some families in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah have been given until May to leave their homes or they will face forced eviction, with more evictions to follow in August.
Settlement building in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem is widely regarded as illegal under international law, but Israel has been occupying much East Jerusalem for decades.
Following recent events, the UK government should be doing more to protect Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem and international law.
The people in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah need us and we have a duty to deal with such a humanitarian crisis.
