Since 1968, Anera has worked to help refugees and communities affected by conflict in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan rebuild their lives with purpose, opportunity and hope. What began as a response to urgent humanitarian needs has grown into decades of sustained partnership with communities determined to shape their own futures.

Anera is independent, with no political or religious affiliation, allowing us to focus fully on what matters most: delivering support where it is needed, in partnership with local organizations and community leaders. Our teams live and work in the communities they serve, navigating complex realities to ensure assistance reaches people facing the greatest barriers.

We respond to immediate emergencies while also investing in long-term solutions—strengthening health systems, expanding access to education, and supporting economic opportunity. This dual approach helps communities to recover while building resilience for the future.

In 2025 alone, Anera mobilized more than $171 million to support programs across Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan delivering clean water, medical care, educational opportunities, livelihoods and more to families who need them most. Our commitment is and always has been to stand alongside communities until lasting change takes root.

The European Citizens’ Initiative Justice for Palestine is put forward by the European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet (ELA)—a European political party that unites green left and feminist parties committed to defending international law, democratic institutions, and human rights.

We are building a movement of millions of European citizens, demanding justice for Palestine and a stop to the EU’s complicity with Israel.

According to the European Commission, the State of Israel is responsible for an unprecedented level of killing and injury of civilians, a large-scale displacement of population and the systematic destruction of hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza. Israel also implemented a blockade of humanitarian aid that could amount to starvation as a method of war. Israel is in breach of multiple rules and obligations under international law and fails to prevent the crime of genocide as ordered by the International Court of Justice.

Yet the European Union has still not suspended its association agreement with Israel, which is the cornerstone of EU-Israel bilateral trade, economic, and political cooperation.

EU citizens cannot tolerate that the EU maintains an agreement that contributes to legitimize and finance a State that commits crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Therefore, we call on the Commission to put forward the proposal to the Council for the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
