On the 21st of March 2023, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen signed an agreement titled “The 2030 Roadmap for UK-Israeli Bilateral Relations’’. In this statement, WILPF’s partners in Palestine Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counselling (WCLAC) strongly condemns the signing of the UK-Israel Bilateral Relations Roadmap, which comes at a time when Israel unashamedly, and in an unprecedented manner, violates Palestinian Human Rights on a daily basis.
WCLAC, in a statement supported by WILPF Palestine and WILPF UK, calls on the UK to reconsider the implementation of the roadmap agreement; and calls on the international community at large to hold Israel, as an Occupying power, accountable for its incessant violations.
