Gaza List: Voices against the Genocide (de-AT|Liste Gaza: Stimmen gegen den Völkermord, or simply Gaza List, de-AT|Liste Gaza) is a political party in Austria founded in 2024.[5] The party's primary focus is advocating for peace, justice, and human rights, particularly concerning the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The party formed as a result of widespread protests in 2023, following the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.[6]

History

Liste Gaza was created by a group of activists who alleged that the Austrian government’s stance and policies were not adequately addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.[7] After months of protests within Austria, which began in October 2023, the founders of the party decided to contest the Austrian parliamentary elections. Their goal was to bring attention to the issue of Gaza on the political stage in Austria.[8] Social Austria of the Future (SÖZ)[9] and (HaK) endorsed Liste Gaza.[10]

Ideology and objectives

The core ideology of Liste Gaza revolves around advocating for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a just resolution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The party calls for Austria to return to its constitutional commitment to neutrality in international conflicts.[11] Some of their key political demands include:

Key positions

The party opposes the restriction of pro-Palestinian activism in Austria, claiming that freedom of speech is being curtailed when it comes to criticism of Israel.

Election results

Liste Gaza participated in the 2024 Austrian legislative election.[13]
