There is not a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip – Israel is still committing genocide against the Palestinian people. The UK must hold Israel to account – rather than continuing to arm and trade with it as normal.
Since the 'ceasefire' started on 10 October 2025, Israel has killed more than 200 Palestinians in Gaza, injured more than 400, and has continued destroying Palestinian homes. Israel has not withdrawn to the lines agreed in the deal, and continues to block food and medicine from entering Gaza – 600 trucks should be entering each day – but Israel is only letting in 90.
It’s no surprise that Israel is breaking the ceasefire deal – it has a long history of breaking ceasefires and international law without consequence.
The terms of the current deal are heavily unequal leaving the power of Israel – as the military occupier – unchecked over the people it has committed genocide against. While all Israeli captives have been released, over 9,000 Palestinians, including children, remain in Israel’s prisons. The deal calls for Palestinians to disarm, but not Israel; and it does nothing to end Israel’s illegal occupation.
The UK has failed to hold Israel to account for two years of genocide, decades of illegal occupation – and countless war crimes throughout.
At this crucial moment – when there is an end in sight to Israel’s genocide – the UK government must push for a fairer ceasefire, and pressure Israel to uphold it.
