Israeli expansion in Gaza is condemned by the West.

• U.K., France, and Canada condemn Israel’s military operation in Gaza, calling it “intolerable” and threatening to force civilians to relocate. They also condemned Israel’s limited food supplies into Gaza, calling it “wholly inadequate.” The countries called for the release of remaining hostages held captive since October 7, 2023, and pledged to take further concrete actions in response. They also called for a halt to the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and suggested targeted sanctions. They emphasized the need for a ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages, and a long-term political solution to end Hamas’ control and achieve a two-state solution.
