80 politicians from 20 countries in Europe and Latin America signed a petition launched Tuesday calling on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate into the genocide being committed b y the Israeli entity in Gaza Strip.

“We’re not going to allow genocide with our silence and complicity,” said Ione Belarra, Spanish minister for social rights, as she launched the initiative. “If you don’t stop brutality in time, it drags you along with it.”

The petition names several Israeli officials – including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, War Minister Yoav Galant and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, accusing them of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

The petition was signed by Belarra, along with dozens of other prominent leftist politicians like Jeremy Corbyn from the UK’s Labour Party, Manon Aubry from France’s Insoumise, Joana Mortagua of Portugal’s Left Bloc, and Peter Mertens of the Workers Party of Belgium.
