- On Tuesday night, an open letter was signed by almost 380 authors from Britain and Ireland, condemning what they described as Israel’s genocide in Gaza and calling for an immediate halt to the fighting.

- More than 800 legal professionals from the UK, among them former justices of the Supreme Court, jointly authored a 34-page letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer warning that genocide is either currently taking place in Gaza or there is a significant likelihood of it happening.
- The letters underscore growing international condemnation of Israel's blockade and strikes in Gaza, highlight thousands of civilian deaths, and urge global action to end silence and uphold legal responsibilities to prevent genocide.
