BYM criticises Gaza proposals
'These threats must be taken seriously.'
Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) has said that it is ‘horrified’ by Donald Trump’s proposal to ‘take over’ and ‘own’ Gaza and ethnically cleanse two million Palestinians.
‘These proposals come after a decades-long occupation which has already crossed numerous legal and moral red lines. A further “announcement” on the West Bank is expected within the next four weeks,’ BYM said.
‘These threats must be taken seriously. Any attempt to implement them would be a grave violation of international law. Any move by the UK government or others to normalise or enable them would be a grave violation of international law.’
Quakers and partners are ‘actively engaged’ in the region and in the UK, to ‘end our government’s complicity and end the occupation of Palestine’, BYM added.
