The prime ministers of the United Kingdom and Canada and the French president have threatened Israel with “concrete action” in a joint statement if it does not stop the operation in Gaza and lift the restrictions on the delivery of aid.
Keir Starmer, Mark Carney, and Emmanuel Macron stressed that they have always supported Israel’s right to self-defense. Still, now they consider its new attack on the Gaza Strip to be a wholly disproportionate response.
The decision of the Israeli authorities to allow only the minimum necessary amount of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip is considered by the leaders of Britain, France, and Canada to be utterly inadequate to the situation.
The statement did not specify the “concrete actions” of these countries against Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the statement by Starmer, Macron, and Carney “a great reward for those who committed genocide on October 7, 2023,” and assured that Israel would fight until victory over Hamas.
