WEB DESK: The United Kingdom, France, and Canada have threatened to impose sanctions on Israel if it does not halt its military operations in Gaza and lift restrictions on the delivery of humanitarian aid.
In a joint statement issued by the British government, the three countries expressed grave concern over the situation, stating:”The Israeli government’s refusal to allow the delivery of essential humanitarian aid to civilians is unacceptable and may constitute a violation of international humanitarian law.”
The statement further condemned Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank, with all three countries voicing opposition to the expansion of illegal settlements:”We oppose any attempts to expand settlements in the West Bank and will not hesitate to take further measures, including the imposition of targeted sanctions.”
This joint warning comes amid an increasingly dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, following more than two months of complete blockade.Earlier today, for the first time in nearly three months, five aid trucks carrying baby food and other humanitarian supplies entered Gaza via the Kerem Abu Salem crossing.While the United Nations welcomed the development as a positive step, it emphasized that far more aid is urgently needed to address the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
