Embrace signs joint global letter demanding governments producing F-35 jets stop arming Israel

18 February 2025

Embrace the Middle East has joined 230+ global civil society organisations in calling on governments producing F-35 fighter jets to immediately halt all arms transfers to Israel. The failure to halt the supply of F-35 parts and components to Israel has led to devastating and irreparable harm to Palestinians in Gaza.

The F-35 programme is led by the US, with partner countries including the UK, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands and Norway. The global letter has been sent to the relevant Government Ministers of F-35 programme partner nations.

The letter, coordinated by the Campaign Against Arms Trade, reads:

“The past 15 months have illustrated with devastating clarity that Israel is not committed to complying with international law.

“Partners to the F-35 programme have individually and collectively failed to prevent these jets from being used to commit serious violations of international law by Israel.”
