Global Jews Demand International Pressure To Stop Starvation In Gaza

April 30, 2025, Israel has prevented the entry of food, water, fuel, medical supplies, and other essentials of life into the Gaza Strip since March 2. Gaza’s suffering is compounding, day by day, before our eyes.

The World Food Programme announced on April 25, 2025 that "food stocks in Gaza are now completely depleted and thousands of Palestinians could die of starvation as a result of the [blockade] policy." The World Food Programme had by then delivered the last of its own food supplies to community kitchens which provided 644,000 meals each day.

Global Jews for Palestine is a coalition of Jewish groups in 18 countries. Most of our governments have made Israel's genocide possible, and their inaction now colludes with mass starvation in Gaza. Only concerted international pressure will save the two million lives that are at imminent, intentional risk in Gaza. We call on governments to stop arming Israel, and instead to impose meaningful sanctions.

In the name of humanity, we urge our governments, the world community at large and Jewish communities everywhere to bring this calamity to an end through direct and impactful economic and political pressure on Israel—now, today.

About Global Jews for Palestine: We are Jews from many countries, who are members of local, national and international networks and organizations. We are multi-ethnic and multigenerational and our members embrace a broad range of viewpoints on Jewish religious and ethical traditions. We are connected by our involvement in the struggle for Palestinian rights, and by our determination to work for justice. We oppose Zionism and all forms of racism and colonialism.

We believe that it is our particular responsibility to challenge Jewish organizations whose alliances and actions undermine Palestinian human and national rights, promote Jewish exceptionalism, and overturn Jewish social justice traditions. At the heart of our work is the fight for Palestinian liberation and the struggle for a world free of racial and ethnic hierarchy, colonial domination, and unbridled militarism.
