Ban military exports to Israel and investigate use of UK arms by Israel

Closed 260 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to impose an immediate ban on all military exports to Israel and investigate the use of UK arms by Israel, including whether they have been used in connection with any human rights violations.
We believe the UK Government must ban export of military hardware to Israel due to Israel's long history of disproportionate treatment of Palestinians, which are widely regarded as human rights violations, evidence of UK-made weapons being used in these violations, and the UK's responsibility to not contribute to human rights abuses.
