Prominent Jewish religious leaders call for 'an end to starvation in Gaza' and accuse Israeli government of using denial of food and aid as a 'tool of warfare'

Prominent rabbis in the UK have launched a campaign calling on the British government to step up pressure on Israel to lift its two-month total blockade preventing food and humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.

Speaking to Middle East Eye, Janner-Klausner said she hoped the campaign would convey the message that a majority of British Jews opposed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the resumption of the war in Gaza, and the denial of food and aid to Palestinians.
