On Tuesday 29th July at 6:30pm, we will gather at the Triton Fountain in Valletta and march to Castille Square to demand meaningful action by the Maltese Government against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Children, women, and men in Gaza are currently being starved to death. After 1 year and 10 months of genocidal mass murder of civilians – including the deliberate targeting of journalists, healthcare professionals, aid workers, and aid seekers – Israel is now intensifying its genocide through mass starvation.
Images of children dying from hunger, and of the elderly collapsing to their deaths while waiting in vain for food, should trigger the strongest reaction from any human being with even a shred of empathy!
It is therefore deeply hurtful and outrageous that Western governments continue either to proactively support the genocidal state of Israel or to take no meaningful action to stop the Israeli-imposed mass starvation of the Palestinian population in Gaza.
Regrettably, the Maltese Government is also failing abysmally to take the actions within its power to oppose this genocide.
In contrast with other European countries such as Ireland and Spain, it has consistently failed to condemn Israel’s genocide on the international stage, has reneged twice on its promise to recognise the State of Palestine, and continues to allow ships flying the Maltese flag to transport weapons and military material to Israel.
In view of this inaction and complicity, on Tuesday we will be calling for:
- A strong and unambiguous stand by the Maltese Government condemning Israel and calling for its sanctioning, including the cancellation of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
- The prohibition of ships flying the Maltese flag from transporting weapons and military material to Israel, along with a clear and enforced policy preventing ships carrying such material from entering Maltese waters or being serviced by vessels from Malta.
- The immediate recognition by the Government of Malta of the State of Palestine.
