The European campaign for ending the siege welcomed Monday the report issued by the committee on foreign relations in the British House of Commons which condemned Israel for its persistence in imposing a blockade on the Gaza Strip and not allowing in humanitarian aid.
The Brussels-based campaign said that this British parliamentary report is an important step in the right direction, but urgent action is needed to lift the siege on Gaza.
The campaign also hailed the House of Commons for demanding in its report that the European Union links the improvement of its relations with Israel to the latter’s policies towards the Palestinians and its decision to ask openly whether Israel committed war crimes in Gaza.
It also called on the British government to respond positively to the report through moving actively to end the Israeli siege.
The European campaign for ending the siege had earlier warned that the continued blockade on Gaza is leading to a rising death toll for the imprisoned population.
