A Change.org petition calling for the expulsion of Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely has gained significant traction, amassing over 80,450 signatures within a single day, Anadolu Agency reports.
The petition, which has surpassed the 10,000-signature threshold that triggers a response from the UK parliament, asserts that Hotovely is now using “genocidal language.”
“The Ambassador is now using openly genocidal language and is advocating for a genocidal act to take place. The ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank continues,” it said in a statement.
The rapidly growing support reflects a diverse range of voices calling for accountability in light of the ambassador’s recent remarks.
Hotovely, known for her staunch views, unequivocally dismissed the idea of a two-state solution, stating a resounding “absolutely no” to the prospect of a future Palestinian state.
After 100,000 signatures, petitions are considered for debate in parliament.
