'We'll take further concrete actions': UK condemns Israel offensive in Gaza - as Palestinian officials say dozens more killed
The UK has joined France and Canada in condemning Israel's military offensive in Gaza and warned of "further concrete actions".
The leaders of the three nations released a joint statement on Monday, threatening consequences, including sanctions, if Israel did not stop its latest military offensive in Gaza and lift restrictions on humanitarian aid allowed into the enclave. Palestinian health authorities have since said at least 60 people were killed in strikes overnight by Israel, which says it aims to return dozens of hostages still being held by Hamas.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said they had supported Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism, but that its new military actions in Gaza were "wholly disproportionate". "We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions," they said in the joint statement.
"If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response." They also said Israel's decision on Sunday to allow a "basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate.
