In their letter to the Prime Minister Rt Hon. Sir Keir Starmer, they call on the UK Government to sanction those responsible for Israel's death penalty law, that will make hanging the default punishment for Palestinians, and suspend the UK's trade agreement with Israel. In the letter, they echo the widespread condemnation of repeated Israeli breaches of international law from the international human rights community, "pointing to this as further evidence of the potential crime of apartheid by the Israeli state, as Palestinians in the occupied state are specifically singled out under this legislation."
