Trade suspension refers to halting the exchange of goods, services, and financial activities between countries. In this context, it would mean ending or reducing economic interactions with Israel as a response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Proponents argue that suspending trade applies pressure on Israel to pursue peaceful resolutions and signals opposition to human rights abuses. Opponents argue that trade suspensions harm diplomatic relations, hurt economic interests on both sides, and may escalate tensions rather than promote peace.

Yes

Israel is defending itself against the Islamists in the Middle East and they will prevail. Israel was attacked on October 7 and 1,200 people were killed.

No it shouldn’t. Instead it should focus on peace talks in the region
No trade in military or related goods. Suspending supplies of other goods (foodstuff, clothing etc.) could indirectly impact the innocent Palestinian people (i.e. not Hamas supporters, of whom there are plenty!) and exacerbate their already difficult situation.

Israel can buy what ever they want from us, like the Taliban did.

The uk should not be involved and be neutral because that would benefit us the most if we don't take a side
@979XN3F 2wks2W
No, and increase pressure on Hamas to release all Israeli and foreign hostages instead
