Open letter Jewish signatories in call for sanctions
The Guardian
|October 23, 2025
Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as "unconscionable" actions amounting to genocide in Gaza.
More than 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel's conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter comes amid reports that EU leaders, who meet in Brussels today, plan to shelve proposals for sanctions against Israel.
"We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust," the signatories write. "Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel." Signatories include the former speaker of the Israeli Knesset Avraham Burg, the former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy, the British author Michael Rosen, the Canadian author Naomi Klein, the Oscarwinning film-maker Jonathan Glazer, the US actor Wallace Shawn, the Emmy winners Ilana Glazer and Hannah Einbinder, and the Pulitzer prize winner Benjamin Moser.
