As members of the civil society of an EU member state, we urge our Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Council of the European Union and the United Nations to take political and economical measures, including sanctions, to prevent Israel from continuing the construction of the wall and to force it to respect the ICJ Advisory Opinion.

Pressure on Israel is more imperative than ever if peace based on international law is to be achieved. Therefore, we are asking for:

  the suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement

  a total cessation of military agreements and exchanges with Israel

  the EU member States and the World Bank not to provide any research, coordination or funds for building tunnels and gates, which supports the situation created by the construction of the Wall

We require from Israel, as well as from our government, fulfilment of their obligations as set out in the Advisory Opinion, which endorses the rules of the Fourth Geneva Convention and all the relevant UN Resolutions.
