“Saving Gaza: A Call for Action”

• 30 western states, including the UK, France, and Italy, condemn Israel’s war in Gaza.

• The states condemn Israel’s inhumane killing of civilians and denying essential humanitarian assistance.

• They call Israeli plans to force Palestinian citizens out of Gaza ‘completely unacceptable’.

• The statement coincides with Israel’s offensive on Deir al-Balah, a refuge for displaced people.

• Despite condemnation, the situation in Gaza is unlikely to deter Israel.

• Israel has curbed aid inflow, imposed a total blockade, and killed about a thousand desperate people.

• The UN suggests the ‘last lifelines to keep people alive are collapsing’, but the world can still intervene.
