Email your MP: Stop Trump’s Palestinian land grab

US President Donald Trump’s proposal that two million Palestinians should be removed from Gaza, and that the US should “own” that land, is a dangerous plan for ethnic cleansing that would violate international law and Palestinians’ rights to self-determination.

Trump’s plan threatens to undermine Gaza’s fragile temporary ceasefire at a critical moment. It also emboldens those responsible for the shocking levels of Israeli military and settler violence and forcible displacement of Palestinians currently happening in the occupied West Bank.

US President Donald Trump’s proposal that two million Palestinians should be removed from Gaza, and that the US should “own” that land, is a dangerous plan for ethnic cleansing that would violate international law and Palestinians’ rights to self-determination.

Trump’s plan threatens to undermine Gaza’s fragile temporary ceasefire at a critical moment. It also emboldens those responsible for the shocking levels of Israeli military and settler violence and forcible displacement of Palestinians currently happening in the occupied West Bank.

The fate of two million Palestinians in Gaza – and the very foundations of international law – hang in the balance.

Please join us in calling on the UK government to challenge the racist dehumanisation of the Palestinian people, ensure Palestinians can stay on their land, and act decisively to prevent further atrocities in Gaza.

Email your MP today and ask them to stand in solidarity with Palestinians against Trump’s threats and Israel’s military attacks.

I am writing as a constituent to urge you to call on the UK Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to take urgent action to bring an end to Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, enforce a permanent ceasefire, ensure aid is fully restored, and strongly oppose Donald Trump’s proposal to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza. Statements alone are not enough.

Israel’s renewed military bombardment of Gaza, which has caused mass civilian casualties, has collapsed the fragile temporary ceasefire and terrorised the entire population. The UK government must take meaningful action to protect Palestinians from atrocities.

Furthermore, Israel’s total siege of aid and cutting off of electricity supplies to Gaza is a cruel act of collective punishment against Palestinians, in clear violation of international law. Even before Israel’s latest attacks, diseases were spreading, babies were dying from hypothermia and the risk of mass starvation is rising every day.

The UK government, and the world at large, must not standby and allow this to become the new normal of how governments can treat human beings in order to get what they want. The UK must demand and enforce an immediate and permanent cessation of Israeli forces' attacks and ensure full humanitarian access to Gaza.

Trump’s dangerous proposal would be tantamount to ethnic cleansing, and a blatant violation of international law. It reflects racist dehumanisation of the Palestinian people. It also emboldens those responsible for shocking levels of Israeli military and settler violence, and the forcible displacement of Palestinians, currently happening in the occupied West Bank.

Aid must flow to all who need it in Gaza. Moreover, as a sustainable peace can only be built on the bedrock of international law, those responsible for violations against the Palestinian people must be held fully accountable to ensure they are never again repeated.

This is why Trump’s plan, and ongoing Israeli violations against Palestinians, must be challenged with strong words and genuine action. The UK must play an active role in this, or it will once again be an ally to atrocities.

I therefore ask that you use your voice in parliament to urge the UK government to stand up for the rule of international law and Palestinians' rights. Specifically, I ask that you write to the prime minister and foreign secretary, and ask that they commit to the following:

- Demand and enforce an immediate and permanent cessation of Israeli forces attacks and ensure full humanitarian access to Gaza.

- Suspend all arms sales to Israel immediately to prevent UK complicity or facilitation of violations of international law, particularly in relation to the coercive environment being created to unlawfully displace Palestinians.

- Press Israel to ensure aid access and electricity is fully restored to Gaza and international law is enforced.

- Convene UK allies, particularly EU member states, to issue a joint statement unequivocally condemning Israel’s renewed attacks, and Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse Gaza. This statement should outline clear countermeasures and reaffirm Palestinians' right to self-determination and sovereignty.

- Champion Palestinian self-determination setting a clear timeline for recognising the state of Palestine and reaffirming the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and lands.

- Enhance aid and reconstruction support to Gaza, with a focus on emergency needs and early recovery and enabling the people of Gaza to redevelop essential infrastructure like healthcare and remain on their land.

- Pursue meaningful accountability for those responsible for serious violations of international law, including by publicly committing to uphold arrest warrants issued by the international criminal court.

It is critical that the UK government uses its position to uphold human rights, international law, and the sovereignty of the Palestinian people. The UK must not remain complicit in actions that threaten their future.

Thank you for your time and for considering this urgent matter. I look forward to hearing about your actions on behalf of Palestinian rights.
