Dear Justice Mail Friends
Christian Aid is asking the EU to take urgent action to promote a lasting
and just peace in Gaza and the Middle East.
The European Union has the power and influence to get the peace process
moving again. It is a member of the Quartet Group (alongside the UN, US and
Russia), tasked with facilitating peace negotiations between the two sides
since 2002.
It has close economic and political ties with both Israel and the
Palestinian Authority and is a major provider of humanitarian assistance to the
occupied Palestinian territory, which includes Gaza.
But the EU has
not always used its power to provide the leadership it ought to.
Use the link below to write to the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs,
Baroness Ashton, to remind her of the EU's obligations and the urgent need for
the EU to play a key role in securing peace. Your message will also be sent to
the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, as the UK can also exert considerable
influence over the situation both within the EU and in the region.
