Interactions Report - September 2024

While the UK government made symbolic gestures, such as suspending some arms export licences to Israel, critics argue that these actions fall short of meaningful accountability. Political tensions rose as the Labour Party hosted pro-Israel figures at its annual conference, while pro-Palestinian advocacy gained momentum with protests, NGO campaigns, and growing grassroots support. Significant political developments included the Green Party recognising Israeli actions as genocide and apartheid, Sayeeda Warsi's resignation from the Conservative Party over its stance on Palestine, and calls from pro-Palestinian MPs for full sanctions on Israel.
