Palestinian civil society has called for a military embargo against apartheid Israel since the founding of the BDS movement, and more explicitly since 2011. Ending military ties with Israel is not only a moral obligation. A comprehensive military embargo against a State guilty of illegal military occupation, apartheid and “plausible genocide” is not a matter of discretion but a legal obligation under international law. Failing to impose it puts multilateralism and the rule of international law in danger, at a critical time when the far-right is rising in the West and just with the fanatic US administration coming to power, exacerbating the damage caused to the credibility of international law by the current administration’s full partnership in Israel’s genocide.

Ingrid Jaradat’s legacy, in particular her revolutionary and influential critical approach to international law in the service of the Palestinian liberation struggle, lives on to guide and nourish many aspects of the BDS movement. Ingrid’s untimely departure was exactly one year ago, weeks into the unleashing of Israel’s unspeakable genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

The Maersk Denver is part of the Maersk fleet that is implicated in shipping US military supplies to Israel and is therefore reasonably suspected* of carrying illegal military cargo destined to Israel. This is in violation of a UNHRC resolution, a UNGA resolution, and statements by dozens of UN human rights experts, all calling for a military embargo on Israel due to its illegal occupation and its commission of a plausible genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as the ICJ determined earlier this year.
