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 strongly condemns Israel's 'drip feeding' of humanitarian aid and the 'inhumane killing' of civilians, highlighting the worsening humanitarian crisis and rising civilian death toll, especially at aid distribution sites. Western diplomats and EU officials accuse Israel of depriving Palestinians of human dignity and urge a full resumption of aid, a ceasefire, and the release of all hostages. Israel has rejected the criticism, blaming Hamas for manipulating the humanitarian situation.
The international pressure reflects growing alarm over the scale of suffering and the urgent need for a political solution.
