We add our voices to those already demanding the following actions:

1. The full and unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, at scale, and with urgency, by qualified aid agencies.

2. The cessation of all UK arms transfers — including parts — to Israel in line with the UK’s legal obligations under the Arms Trade Treaty (which prohibits transfers where they could be ‘used to commit acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes’).

3. The introduction of targeted sanctions against all individuals and entities credibly accused of violating international law, including war crimes.

4. Support for international legal mechanisms, including investigations by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC), and full UK diplomatic support to secure the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

As business leaders, we also call on the UK Government to:

– Suspend ALL export licences for goods that could be directly or indirectly implicated in military operations in Gaza – without exception.

– Partial measures are not enough to prevent UK complicity in breaches of international law.

– Broaden financial sanctions and investment screening to stop UK financing of companies complicit in violations of international law.

– Current efforts must go further to close gaps in enforcement.

– Enforce the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights across all UK-linked supply chains and financial systems.

The UK must ensure that no business – whether through products, services, or supply chains – is contributing to these atrocities, directly or indirectly.
