International Condemnation of Israel's Gaza Actions Mounts

International leaders condemn Israel's Gaza actions. A joint statement by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney strongly criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, demanding increased humanitarian aid and an end to the military offensive. They described the current level of aid as "wholly inadequate." The statement drew a sharp response from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who accused the leaders of rewarding Hamas for the October 7th attacks. Meanwhile, the UN's humanitarian relief chief, Tom Fletcher, stated that while some limited aid has been allowed into Gaza after an 11-week blockade, it's only a "drop in the ocean" of what is urgently needed. The UN is committed to scaling up its life-saving operations. The situation highlights the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the international community's divided response.
