UK, France, and 23 other nations slam Israel over 'inhumane killing' of civilians
A group of 25 countries -- including the UK, France, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand -- issued a joint statement on Monday, saying Israel must stop its military operations in Gaza. These nations, many of whom are longtime allies of Israel, also condemned the "inhumane killing" of Palestinian civilians, especially near food aid the statement, the foreign ministers of these countries said, "The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity. The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths."advertisementThe group bluntly criticised the way humanitarian aid is being allowed into Gaza, calling it a "drip feeding" system that fails to meet basic needs. They pointed out that more than 800 people have been killed while trying to collect food near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution sites. These sites are backed by both Israel and the United States and were set up to take over aid work from a United Nations-led system. The joint statement called the situation "horrifying" and said Israel's actions are denying Palestinians access to essential humanitarian assistance. It also urged Israel to lift restrictions and allow aid agencies, including the UN, to operate BLAMES HAMAS FOR THE CRISISIn response, Israel's foreign ministry rejected the claims. Officials called the international statement "disconnected from reality" and said it would only encourage Hamas."The statement fails to focus the pressure on Hamas and fails to recognise Hamas's role and responsibility for the situation," the Israeli government has repeatedly claimed that aid sent through the UN system has been stolen by Hamas fighters. However, Hamas has denied this allegation. Instead, Israel and the US have turned to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which uses private American companies to transport supplies, mostly bypassing UN United Nations has spoken out against this model, saying it compromises humanitarian neutrality and puts civilians at greater risk. But the GHF insists it is doing its best to get aid to people in war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants entered southern Israel, killed around 1,200 people, and took 251 hostages, according to Israeli data. Since then, Israel's military campaign has devastated the Gaza. Health authorities in the region say over 59,000 Palestinians have been killed so far.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersMust Watch

It is not the age of genocide, and yet...
That apathy and inaction can make for deadly weapons is horribly evident by the free pass Israel has received from the international community, India included, to continue with their genocidal land-clearing mission in Gaza. While administrations argue over what constitutes ' genocide ' and the extent to which 'antisemitism' can be extended to cover any critique of the Israeli state, famine conditions in Gaza have deepened, with at least 18 people dying of hunger over the weekend. Israeli military operations, which have killed at least 115 Palestinians, and wounded more than 200 people as children are dying of state-imposed starvation, has reached Biblical failure of geopolitics to intervene and make the Benjamin Netanyahu regime cease its mission of Lebensraum is proof of the triumph of realpolitik over basic human empathy. Netanyahu's mission to oust Palestinians from Gaza is a Herodian massacre of the innocents, where starving people by cutting off aid, including baby food, is part of 'strong state' tactics of 'burning down the forest to flush out bandits'. The strategy to make for 'living space' is strikingly familiar. Descendants of European Jews are now perpetrating it on Israel's Palestinians, making it a psychopathological act by which victims have given themselves a licence to become perpetrators of the same crimes committed on like UN seem defunct, while powers like the US and China are keener to leverage a tragedy than to end it. India, if it wants to stand up and be counted for the right thing, must intervene - pick up the phone and speak to 'friendly' Tel Aviv, if need be. It is not the age of war, yet wars are happening. It is certainly not the age of genocide and holocaust, and yet...

AFP Britain and 24 other Western nations on Monday (July 21) demanded an immediate end to the war in Gaza, declaring that the humanitarian crisis had 'reached new depths' and urging an 'immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire'. In a joint statement, the group, which includes Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand and several EU countries, warned that 'further bloodshed serves no purpose' and pledged full support for the ceasefire efforts led by the United States, Qatar and Egypt. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We urge the parties and the international community to unite in a common effort to bring this terrible conflict to an end,' the statement said, adding that the signatories were 'prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire'. The statement delivered a sharp rebuke to Israel over its handling of humanitarian aid, describing the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) as 'dangerous' and accusing it of stripping Palestinians of 'human dignity'. 'We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food,' the statement said. 'The Israeli government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable.' It called on Israel to 'immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid' and enable UN agencies and humanitarian organisations 'to do their life saving work safely and effectively'. The UN reported last week that 875 Palestinians had been killed while trying to obtain food from GHF aid convoys. The GHF has largely supplanted traditional UN relief agencies in the besieged enclave. The signatories also condemned Hamas's continued detention of hostages, calling for 'their immediate and unconditional release', and argued that a negotiated ceasefire 'offers the best hope of bringing them home'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The joint statement further warned against Israeli plans to relocate Palestinians into a designated 'humanitarian city', rejecting it as a form of 'permanent forced displacement' and a violation of international law. 'We strongly oppose any steps towards territorial or demographic change in the Occupied Palestinian Territories,' the group said.
