Sir Keir Starmer joins condemnation of Israel over Gaza actions

The ***, France and Canada have warned Israel they will take “concrete actions” if it continues an “egregious” expansion of military operations in Gaza.

Sir Keir Starmer joined the French and ********* leaders to call on the Israeli government to “stop its military operations” and “immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza”.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by saying the three leaders had offered a “huge prize” for ****** in the Gaza war.

No food, fuel or medicine had been allowed into Gaza since 2 March, a situation the UN previously described as taking a “disastrous toll” on the ************ population.

On Sunday, Netanyahu said his country would allow a “basic amount of food” to enter the territory after a 11-week long blockade but it planned to take “control of all of Gaza”.

The three Western leaders criticised this as

as the “denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law”.

They added the level of suffering in Gaza was “intolerable”.

UN humanitarian relief chief Tom Fletcher, a former British diplomat, said the number of aid trucks which had been cleared to enter was a “drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed”.

Sir Keir, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney also called for ****** to immediately release the remaining hostages taken in the “heinous attack” on southern Israel on 7 October 2023.

The Gaza war was triggered by the ******-led attack which saw around 1,200 people killed and more than 250 taken hostage.

Some 58 hostages remain in Gaza, up to 23 of whom are believed to be alive.

Gaza’s health ministry, which is run by ******, says more than 53,000 Palestinians have been killed during Israel’s military campaign.

The statement from the ***, France and Canada reiterated support for a ceasefire as well as the implementation of a “two-state solution”, which proposes an independent ************ state which would exist alongside Israel.

Netanyahu hit back at the suggestion: “By asking Israel to end a defensive war for our survival before ****** terrorists on our border are destroyed and by demanding a ************ state, the leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities.”

He also called on “all European leaders” to follow US President Donald “Trump’s vision” for ending the conflict.
