In a powerful response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, more than 380 writers, including notable figures such as Zadie Smith and Ian McEwan, have signed an open letter calling for an immediate ceasefire and condemning the actions in Gaza as genocide. This has sparked a broader movement, with over 800 lawyers and judges in the UK urging their government to impose sanctions on Israel in light of the alleged war crimes against Palestinians. Protests demanding action have also erupted in several countries, reflecting growing international outrage over the violence and humanitarian situation in Gaza.
