Our demands

1. Ceasefire & humanitarian aid: We call for full compliance with the agreed ceasefire, unhindered access for humanitarian organisations and journalists, and the complete reopening of the border crossing to Egypt.

2. Respect for international law: The international community must demand that all actors comply with international law and protect the authority and independence of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

3. Recognition of Palestine: We call for the recognition of Palestine, the guarantee of the Palestinian people's right to self‑determination, and the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state. We support the participation of Palestinian voices in Gaza’s transitional government and a transfer of power ensuring that Hamas and its ideology no longer play a role.

4. Human rights: We condemn attacks on international and human rights organisations and call for the consistent protection of human rights defenders.

5. Sanctions: We call for the suspension of the EU Association Agreement with Israel and for targeted sanctions against those responsible for war crimes, acts of terror, and forced displacement. To stop the violence and reverse settlement expansion in the West Bank, the EU must ban trade and business with Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and expand targeted sanctions.

6. International engagement: We call for the transfer of Israeli‑controlled areas within Gaza to an international stabilisation force, the training of Palestinian Authority security forces, and a strong European contribution to the reconstruction of Gaza.

7. Arms export ban: Europe must stop all arms deliveries that could endanger civilians, particularly any military equipment that could be used in Gaza.
