URGENT: 21 children dead from starvation in 72 hours. Doctors collapsing without food… And yet, the EU still refuses to impose trade sanctions, clinging to vague “positive signs” from Israel. But something is shifting. In a rare diplomatic uprising, dozens of former EU ambassadors are urging EU leaders to SANCTION ISRAEL. Sign the citizen surge backing their call and we’ll bring this fight straight to their holiday doorsteps.
In 72 hours, 21 children have died of hunger in Gaza. Doctors, journalists, and humanitarian workers are wasting away from starvation, and hundreds have been shot dead at aid centers.
Just 10 days ago, the EU’s top diplomat refused to push for sanctions, claiming she saw “positive signs” from Israel. And now, as the world’s front pages show children reduced to skin and bones, EU leaders want to postpone any action until after their summer break? No way.
But a diplomatic rebellion is in the making. In an unprecedented move, 58 former EU ambassadors have publicly called on EU leaders to SANCTION ISRAEL. Let’s build on the momentum and take a concrete step to end the famine. If leaders escape to their holiday villas, we’ll bring this call to their doorsteps so they can't miss it.
In Gaza, the last lifelines of survival are vanishing. People are gunned down while reaching for food. Children are dying of hunger in their mothers’ arms. This isn’t a battlefield. It’s a massacre unfolding at food lines.
The EU cannot keep calling for dialogue while giving Israel privileged access to its market. As ambassadors point out in their joint letter: “Silence and neutrality in the face of genocide constitute complicity.”
Let’s rise together and call on European leaders to impose sanctions on Israel now. As Israel’s main trading partner, Europe has real leverage.
