BDS co-founder urges UK to end all Israel trade, calls sanctions 'cop-out'

Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the BDS movement, argues the UK's legal obligation to prevent genocide in Gaza requires ending all trade with Israel, dismissing current sanctions on settler groups and ministers as insufficient. This escalates pressure on UK policy but reflects an established advocacy position rather than a policy shift. The claim rests on contested legal interpretations of genocide and international law.
