“I tell President (Emmanuel) Macron, Prime Minister (Mark) Carne and Prime Minister Starmer: When I thank you for the mass killers, rapists, children’s fighting, and the kidnappers, you are on the wrong side of justice. You are on the wrong side of humanity and you are on the wrong side of history,” said Netanyahu.

The three Western leaders issued a joint speech on Monday warning that they will take “concrete measures” against Israel if it does not. Stop the new attack And raising restrictions on the aid entering Gaza.

Starmer freezed the UK talking about a new trade deal with Israel on Tuesday, and the European Union said it would review its association’s agreement with the country in a move backed by 17 member states of the 27th bloc.

London and Paris are also considering expanding the scope of recognition of a Palestinian state, perhaps as part of an international conference on the Israeli -Palestinian conflict that was overturned next month in New York.

In his comments, Netanyahu claimed that there is a link between a The shooting attack in Washington On Wednesday, which was killed by the Israeli embassy employees, Yaron Lesinski and Sarah Milgerim, and “Hamas’s propaganda that says Israel is starving Palestinian children.”

The local health authorities in Gaza said 107 people were killed during the past day in Israeli strikes.

According to Israeli military figures, a total of about 300 trucks, including children, flour and medical equipment, have been allowed to enter the tape since Monday – which is less than what the United Nations and other international officials say to treat a humanitarian crisis.

A small portion of the aid that entered this week was spent inside the region, according to two people familiar with this issue.

When announcing the siege of the siege, Netanyahu admitted that the situation is approaching the critical “red line”. He said that he told him “Friends” of Israel all over the world and in the US Congress that “we will not accept pictures of comprehensive hunger … We will not be able to support you” in the war effort.
