The Central Bank’s current approval of Israeli genocide-funding bonds ends on September 1. 

As we witness the forced starvation of the Palestinian people in Gaza, displacement of 800,000 people from Northern Gaza, daily bombardment, and the relentless murder of children and adults, we call on the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) to do the absolute minimum required under international law — stop funding genocide, do not renew the State of Israel Bonds Issuance programme on September 2.
