A coalition of 28 countries, including the UK, France, Canada, Japan, and several European nations, has issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza.
The statement condemns Israel for the 'inhumane killing' of civilians and the 'drip feeding' of humanitarian aid, warning that the suffering of Gaza's population has reached unprecedented levels. European and Western leaders have criticized Israel's restrictions on aid deliveries and the targeting of civilians seeking food and water, with some warning of potential sanctions if conditions do not improve. Despite these calls, Israel has rejected the criticism, blaming the UN for delays in aid distribution and maintaining its military operations.
The United States has notably refrained from joining the joint condemnation, highlighting divisions among Western allies over the crisis.
