The Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) called for national and international prosecution of officials from the US, UK, France, Germany and other countries who provided military and political support for the genocide committed in the Gaza Strip.

“In addition to giving the green light to the Israeli occupation to commit genocide, these countries defend it, wash away its crimes, twist the truth about its crimes, and provide it with all kinds of lethal weapons,” AOHR UK said in a statement.

The USA created an air bridge that made 62 US-Israeli flights to transport ammunition, missiles, vehicles and spare parts, it explained

AOHR UK criticised Jordan for allowing the US to use its territory to transport heavy military equipment on 15 special aircraft, as well as allowing the transport of special forces on one plane and two drones.

The US also uses Cyprus to transport weapons, where 20 aircraft transporting heavy military equipment took off from military bases on the island state.

AOHR UK called on the Jordanian government to act in line with its policy and the strong statements issued by its government confirming that it is against the unjust war launched by Israel with Western support on the Gaza Strip. “It is unacceptable for Jordan to call in public to stop the war, while allowing US military support for Israel,” the statement added.

AOHR UK also called on Arab states that have normalised ties with the occupation state of Israel to withdraw their billions of dollars in investments, sever relations with it, expel ambassadors, close their embassies and refrain from providing any form of support to this occupation.
