Canada, UK, France warns Israel against “tangible work” on military expansion – national

The leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom and France condemn Israel’s expansion of military operations and measures in Gaza and the West Bank, and threatened in a joint statement on Monday with tangible measures, including sanctions.

The statement, which is called Sunday, that Israel will allow a basic amount of food in Gaza “completely insufficient” and said that the level of human suffering “unbearable.”

“We will not stand by the Netanyahu government to follow these terrible measures,” the statement said. “If Israel does not stop the renewed military attack and raise its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take more concrete actions in response.”

The statement said that the three countries always support Israel’s right to defend themselves against terrorism, but described the escalation that is not proportional.

Israel launched a new wave of air and land throughout Gaza during the weekend, saying it would pressure Hamas to launch the remaining hostages from the attack on October 7, 2023. The army ordered the evacuation of Khan Yunis, the second largest city in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israel plans to “control both Gaza.” He said that Israel will also encourage what he describes as voluntary migration to other countries. The Palestinians have rejected the proposal.

The statement of the three countries starkly criticized “any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank.”

She said: “Israel must stop illegal settlements, undermine the authority of the Palestinian state, and the security of both Israelis and the Palestinians.” “We will not hesitate to take more measures, including targeted sanctions.”

The three countries’ statement comes after a long period after five trucks carrying children’s food and other aid entered the region. The United Nations described it as a “welcoming development”, but said that more aid is needed.

Food security experts warned last week against starvation.

Foreign ministers of the three countries, as well as many others, also issued a joint statement on Monday calling on Israel to allow a full appeal to help Gaza immediately.

They called for the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to work independently and bleeding to provide assistance to Gaza.
