Rejected petition That the Chief Minister removes her signature from the Jersey Unity Statement
In response to ongoing events in the Middle East, a Jersey Unity Statement was issued on 1st November 2023, signed by politicians, and community and faith leaders in Jersey, including the Chief Minister. This petition ask the Chief Minister to remove her signature
More details
The Jersey Unity Statement does not represent the views of a large proportion of the Island, which unequivocally denounce and condemn the attacks by Israel on the civilians of Gaza. The Chief Minister does not speak on behalf of all Islanders and should therefore remove her signature from this Statement. Together with many Islanders, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and other organisations have serious concerns regarding the actions being taken by Israel against Gaza and the high number of Palestinian civilian deaths and injuries in Gaza which could amount to war crimes.
