Given the urgency and scale of the crisis, we call on our governments to use every diplomatic, legal, and economic lever available to:
- Demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire;
- Ensure the Israeli government meets its obligations under international humanitarian law;
- Initiate a credible political process aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace
It’s time for our leaders to formally recognise the State of Palestine immediately.
As members of the G7, doing so would send a powerful signal, particularly in the lead-up to the UN conference co-chaired by France in mid-June.
