Petition

Create a UK visa scheme for Palestinians like “Homes for Ukraine”

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Create an emergency ‘Homes for Palestine’ route: a UK visa and sponsorship scheme modelled on Homes for Ukraine. Provide fee-free visas, family reunion, and safe routes so UK residents can sponsor Palestinians fleeing war and those at risk.
Palestinians face mass displacement, destroyed homes and restricted access to food, water and medical care. In 2022 the UK created Homes for Ukraine, proving a humane visa route and community sponsorship can be delivered quickly. A similar, non-discriminatory scheme for Palestinians would save lives, enable family reunion, and let approved UK sponsors provide safe accommodation and support.
