The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada issue a joint statement condemning Israel’s handling of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and calling on the Israeli government to immediately halt military action in the enclave and allow in aid, threatening “further concrete actions in response” if Israel refuses.
The three leaders call Israel’s announcement yesterday to allow a limited amount of aid into Gaza “wholly inadequate” and say the country’s failure to assist the Gazan civilian population “is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.”
Israel must engage with the United Nations “to ensure a return to delivery of aid in line with humanitarian principles,” says the statement.
