Israeli forces are still carrying out mass atrocities in Gaza. Every day since the ceasefire, at least 2 Palestinian children have been killed.
Life-saving aid has been blocked, and dozens of humanitarian organisations have been banned.
And Europe is actively sustaining this system of violence by giving Israel preferential trade and political treatment through the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
But something extraordinary is happening: in less than a week, over 300,000 people signed an European Citizens' Initiative demanding a suspension of the agreement.
If one million EU citizens sign on, the EU Commission will be forced to engage with the petition through public hearings and a formal response.
This is how we force the EU to change course and stop enabling genocide. But it will only work if we can get a million people signed on!
Add your name and then share this with every friend and family member:
Back the European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
Why this petition works differently — and why it matters
This is not a regular online petition.
It is an official European Citizens’ Initiative — one of the strongest democratic tools available to people in the EU.
Because it has legal force, the signing process includes two simple steps:
Step 1 — Click on "Step 1: sign" button
Add your name with Ekō so we can keep you updated on the campaign and help build momentum.
Step 2 — Sign officially on the EU page
On the next page, you’ll be asked to sign on the EU’s official system.
Your government decides which details are required (such as your place or date of birth) solely to verify that your signature is valid.
Important: Ekō cannot see or access the information you provide on the EU form. It is handled directly by public authorities.
Who can sign?
To support a European Citizens’ Initiative, you must:
- Be a citizen of an EU member state
- Be old enough to vote in European Parliament elections (18 in most countries, 16 in Austria)
That’s it.
Every valid signature brings us closer to forcing the European Commission to act.
And because this initiative has real legal weight, sharing it matters more than ever.
