U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called Israel’safter a two-month ceasefire “wholly disproportionate.” They threatened to take “concrete actions” if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government doesn’t halt the offensive and lift restrictions on humanitarian aid.They condemned as “abhorrent” some of the language used by members of the Israeli government suggesting the destruction of Gaza will drive Palestinians to leave.
Starmer said he was “horrified” by Israel’s escalation of the conflict, which has left more than 53,000 dead in Gaza, more than half women and children, according to local health officials, whose count does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy called Israel’s actions in blocking aid to Gaza and renewing its military offensive “monstrous,” while another U.K. minister, Jenny Chapman, called the move “abhorrent.” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Israel’s “blind violence” had made the Palestinian territory a “place of death.”
The war in Gaza began when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and abducting 251 others. Netanyahu says Israel is still fighting to rid Gaza of Hamas and free the remaining 58 hostages.
