A grassroots campaign has been launched calling on the British government to exert diplomatic pressure on Hamas to stop attacks on Israel.
The Israel Britain Alliance, which is led by the former Labour Friends of Israel vice-chair, Michael McCann, has asked supporters to email Boris Johnson before the recent spate of terror incidents becomes another full-blown conflict.
The “Stop The War” campaign has been launched on the basis that attacks in Tel Aviv, Kiryat Arba and Sderot over the last two months could represent “the prequel to a Hamas declaration of war on Israel.”
Mr McCann said that the drive, which has the support of We Believe in Israel and Friends of Israel groups in Sussex, the north-west and Merseyside, was set to be “the biggest campaign we’ve run so far.”
