Red Line for Palestine
Day after day we have watched atrocities in Palestine unfold on our screens, as the Israeli government crosses red line after red line with impunity. We must stand together in solidarity and fight for a fair and just future for Palestine.
What's happening in Palestine?
Now is the moment to act
UK government must stop arming Israel
The UK government has fuelled violence against Palestinians, and Israeli aggression in the region, by continuing to allow arms sales and other military support to the Israeli forces.
This includes parts for the F-35 fighter jets that have dropped bombs on civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.
“When we draw the line together, we don't just resist, we reshape what is possible.”
Ghada, Oxfam staff member in Gaza

What is the Red Line for Palestine campaign?
Red Line for Palestine is a campaign inspired by symbolic ‘red line’ protests around the world. It began as the Red Line for Gaza campaign, but rebranded in April 2026.
The UK campaign is coordinated by Oxfam GB, War Child UK and many others – it’s about using our collective voices to call for an end to the UK government’s complicity.
What are the Red Lines?
A red line is a limit that should never be crossed. In the case of the Red Line for Palestine campaign, it means breaches of international law.
What about the ceasefire?
The ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza was nothing of the sort.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed since the latest ceasefire agreement began. The Israeli military continues to indiscriminately attack homes, schools, hospitals, and refugee camps. The Israeli government continue to impose crippling restrictions that make it nearly impossible to deliver enough life-saving assistance to people in Gaza.
The fragility of intermittent ceasefires, and trauma of persistent insecurity, takes a significant psychological toll on all civilians.
Why are we saying the UK government is complicit?
The UK government remains complicit in these atrocities, by its continued military, economic and diplomatic support of Israel.
The International Court of Justice has ruled that states must not aid or assist Israel in its unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory.
Our government is making a choice - to support Israel whilst acknowledging that their actions amount to war crimes.

What should the UK government be doing?
Our government must act beyond the symbolic recognition of Palestine and towards true, meaningful statehood for Palestinians: full self-determination, economic sovereignty and an end to brutal occupation.
This includes complying with international law and using its influence and leverage with the Israeli government by:
- ending all arms sales and military support to Israel
- ending all trade with illegal Israeli settlements
It must not prioritise perceived security or economic advantage over its legal and moral obligations.
Additionally the government must continue to push for a permanent and meaningful ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access in Gaza so aid can reach people in desperate need, and the suspension and reversal of the deregistration of Oxfam and other INGOs.
What needs to happen next?
All parties must be held to account for violations of international law committed during this conflict, including war crimes and genocide.
Palestinians must be able to live in freedom, with dignity, self-determination, and full and equal civil and political rights.
There must be an end to Israel's brutal and unlawful occupation. Without addressing this root cause, true accountability, justice and lasting peace for all Palestinians and Israelis will not be possible.
What does it mean to act in solidarity with Palestinians?
This means joining together and recognising our common humanity. We all deserve to have access to our basic human rights. Our collective wellbeing and humanity lies in our ability to support each other, speak out against the injustices we see, and work towards a fairer world for us all.
Our hope is for all Palestinians and Israelis to live in freedom, with full and equal civil and political rights.
How can I get involved?
By joining the Red Line for Palestine, we will be in touch with ways you can support the campaign and take action in your community.
We will also be able to demonstrate how many people from all across the UK care about this issue, and put more pressure on decision makers to take action.
The louder we raise our collective voice, the harder we are to ignore.
