The United Kingdom, France, and Canada have issued a joint warning to Israel, threatening to take “concrete actions” if the country continues its intensified military operations in Gaza.
In a coordinated statement, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called on Israel to “stop its military operations” and “immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza”.
The leaders described the humanitarian situation as “intolerable,” pointing to a complete blockade that has prevented food, fuel, and medicine from entering the region since early March.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the criticism, accusing the Western leaders of rewarding Hamas by pushing for an end to the war before the militant group is defeated.
