No trade with executioners - suspend the EU-Israel deal!
To the EU leaders and foreign ministers
Petition
We call on the European Union and its Member States to:
- Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement immediately;
- Halt all trade and financial relations with Israel until the death penalty is revoked and Palestinians’ rights are respected;
- Ensure that respect for human rights remains a non-negotiable condition for any EU trade agreement.
Why is this important?
Nothing seems to be off limits to Israel's genocidal leaders. From starving civilians to legalising the death penalty for Palestinians. [1]
And still, the European Union continues to be Israel’s biggest trading partner. And Italy is its third biggest arms supplier in the world. [2]
But finally, the tide is turning.
Italy’s Giorgia Meloni has suspended the renewal of a 20-year defence agreement with Israel. [3]
That is huge.
And it’s not happening in isolation.
Orbán - who long blocked EU action - has just lost power. Belgium and Spain are pushing for sanctions on Israel. And across Europe pressure is rising - with over a million signatures and a new global flotilla setting sail to Gaza. [4]
Everything is pointing in the same direction: this is the moment.
As Israel escalates its human rights violations, pressure to suspend the EU-Israel deal is growing fast.
In just two days, European leaders will meet in Brussels to decide what happens next. [5]
This is where you come in.
A door is opening in Europe - and it could close just as quickly. We are ready to turn this moment into pressure on the leaders sitting in that room. But that only works if this community - people like you - cares enough.
If you care about this, sign now!
