A coalition of 28 countries, including the UK, France, Canada, Australia, and Japan, has issued a joint statement demanding an immediate end to Israel's war in Gaza.
The statement condemns Israel for the 'inhumane killing' of civilians and the 'drip feeding' of humanitarian aid, which has led to severe starvation, thirst, and mass casualties among Palestinians seeking basic supplies. The group warns that all options, including potential sanctions, are on the table if Israel does not fulfill its pledges to facilitate aid. The international community is increasingly alarmed by the deepening humanitarian crisis, with over 800 Palestinians reportedly killed while seeking aid and dozens dying from hunger in recent days.
Despite mounting pressure, Israel has rejected the joint statement, while the US has notably refrained from joining the criticism.
