Cancel Benjamin Netenyahu's visit with the Prime Minister
Benjamin Netenyahu's governance of Israel has seen an increase in segregation, settlement building and international condemnation. A visit at this point in time sends the wrong message and weakens our position on human rights.
In December 2016, Britain along with a number of other nations voted in favour of a UN resolution against Israel's illegal settlement building in the Palestinian West Bank. Netenyahu not only continues to ignore this but has been responsible for shelling UN schools and hospitals in Gaza during 2014. Netenyahu is under investigation for allegations of corruption and war crimes by several Governments and organisations. We should not be rewarding this behaviour with formal visits.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
It appears that this visit has already happened. We are therefore not sure what you would like the UK Government to do.
