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's 'inhumane killing' of civilians and criticizes the 'drip feeding' of humanitarian aid, which has left Gaza's population facing starvation and severe deprivation. Western leaders warn that the suffering of civilians has reached unprecedented levels, with reports of mass starvation and over 1,000 deaths among those seeking aid. The EU and several foreign ministers have threatened further action, including potential sanctions, if Israel does not comply with humanitarian pledges.
Despite mounting international pressure, Israel has rejected the calls, while the US remains notably absent from the group of critics.
