Green Party Policy Statements

The Green Party called for the UK government to push for an immediate ceasefire on 17 October 2023. 

The Green Party has also called for the UK government to cease all military collaboration with Israel, including allowing Israeli use of British bases and RAF intelligence flights over Gaza. 

The Green Party also support the implementation of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign across the UK economy. This includes the exclusion of Israel from international sporting and music events, withdrawing all public money from funds with investments in Israel and ending beneficial trade agreements with Israel. 

The Green Party would also introduce targeted sanctions against key individuals, which would include travel bans and asset freezes on Israeli leadership and cabinet members, in particular those calling for new settlements in Gaza and the annexation of the West Bank. 

The Green Party also would encourage UK authorities including the Metropolitan Police and Director of Public Prosecutions to pursue perpetrators of war crimes committed where UK citizens are the victims or where UK citizens are potential perpetrators. 

The Green Party backs the ICC in seeking arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli war criminals.

The Green Party also calls on Israel to evacuate the illegal settlements within the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and for a just political settlement based on the end of the occupation of the Palestinian territories and an international effort to ‘create a Palestinian state’.
