United Kingdom:
Dear Rt. Hon. Secretary of State Ms Braverman,
Re: Granting Citizenship to Hostages held by Hamas in Gaza
We, Jewish Leaders, write with an urgent request that could – quite literally – save the lives of the hostages being held by Hamas.
You are doubtless aware that Hamas has released a trickle of hostages from the over 200 abducted following their inhuman massacre in Israel on October 7th. The taken include babies, toddlers, children, the elderly and the infirm.
We ask you, as part of a European wide effort with fellow Ministers in other Member States, to take responsibility for a number of hostages by granting them citizenship, even if temporary.
We would be happy to provide you with a list of names and details.
The granting of citizenship and the protections afforded by such citizenship would undoubtedly save lives and avoid a despicable spectacle last witnessed in the death camps: a selection of Jews.
We cannot allow this to happen. We implore you to do all that you can to free the hostages by granting them citizenship of your country.
We stand ready to help, day or night.
Thanking you in advance for your urgent consideration and attention and very much look forward to hearing from your office.
With most respectful regards
Yours sincerely,
