"We must call this what it is," Lammy said. "It's extremism. It is dangerous. It is repellent. It is monstrous. And I condemn it in the strongest possible terms."Smotrich is not a decision-maker when it comes to conduct of the war in Gaza. Before now, his incendiary remarks might have been set to one side.

But those days appear to be over. Rightly or wrongly, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seen as in thrall to his far-right colleagues. Critics accuse him of relentlessly pursuing a war, without regard for the lives of Palestinian civilians or the remaining Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza.Countries that have long supported Israel's right to defend itself are beginning to say "enough is enough."This week was clearly a significant moment for Britain's Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, a staunch defender of Israel (he once said "I support Zionism without qualification") who faced strong criticism from within the Labour Party for his reluctance last year to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

On Tuesday, Sir Keir said the suffering of innocent children in Gaza was "utterly intolerable".In the face of this unusually concerted action from some of his country's strongest allies, Netanyahu reacted furiously, suggesting Britain, France and Canada were guilty of supporting Hamas.

"When mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice," he posted on X.

"You're on the wrong side of humanity and you're on the wrong side of history.""We must put pressure on Israel to ensure the aid truly reaches its target," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told reporters alongside Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo in Finland.

"But it is also crucial that Hamas must not prevent humanitarian aid from arriving."Merz, who has strongly criticised Israel in recent days, said events in Gaza were "in no way acceptable". He described the effect on Gazan civilians as "excessive" and called for an end to the killing and suffering.

"This is a terrible human catastrophe and we must be able to tackle it," Orpo added.Sweden on Tuesday also summoned the Israeli ambassador to its foreign ministry, and called on the country to "immediately ensure safe and unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza".
