"We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Yesterday’s announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. We call on the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza."
"We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response. "We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians. We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions. " Quite a sudden and surprising shift in tone from countries that were/are actively supplying weaponry and arming Israel. There are talks that France may be in the process of recognize the state of Palestine. It could be due to the ever growing awareness via social media and that the public is seeing the horrific images coming out of Gaza, that politicians are starting to feel the pressure to finally act. In the UK alone, an estimated half million people marched through central London in protests for Gaza this past weekend. https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/politics/uk-israel-sanctions-gaza-palestine-b2754507.html https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-statement-from-the-leaders-of-the-united-kingdom-france-and-canada-on-the-situation-in-gaza-and-the-west-bank |
Talk is cheap. Action long overdue. |
European intel services likely told them there will be tens of thousands of starvation deaths in the next week. The full blockade started 11 weeks ago and no food has entered since then. Food supplies are about to run out.
It's going to be piles of bodies and mass graves with bulldozers. |
Good. It’s about time. |
Good! It’s about time someone took an ethical stand against this genocide. |
+1 If only the USA would join them. Instead we spend billions in paying for tanks for a country that's refusing to let humanitarian aid enter Gaza and starving kids to death. |
Sounds like something called genocide to me. |
They are trying to give the optics of letting aid in so that they do not suffer the consequences of losing international support. https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/netanyahu-trump-gaza-aid-genocide-smotrich-ceasefire-hamas
Netanyahu: Gaza Aid Scheme Offers Israel Symbolic Cover to Finish the Genocide - In order to conquer and seize Gaza, “We need to do it in a way” where the world “won’t stop us," Netanyahu says. Smotrich laid out the Netanyahu government’s genocidal agenda and explained why the appearance of allowing aid is necessary on a strategic level. “The [aid] that will enter Gaza in the coming days is the tiniest amount. The emerging Israeli policy offers enough food to Palestinians in Gaza to ward off international condemnation that could impact its war, while preparing to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza. |
Yes, it is genocide and I’m glad the Europeans are finally realizing it! |
I really doubt Israel will suffer any consequences. This is all just performative to claim that they did something about genocide. |
Israel is scared sh#tless of this. This will be like bds on crack. This is what happens when Trump and republicans side with Putin against Europe. |
Despite UK's condemnation and supposed halt in trade:
Starmer just sent a A400M military transport plane to Tel Aviv. It can carry weapons and soldiers. 2 hours later, he sent a spy plane over Gaza to collect intel for Israel. https://x.com/kennardmatt/status/1924374676286939484 |
Gaza must surrender. |
Why is the viability of a Palestinian state so important to them? Is it because they let in so many Muslims over the decades? |
Palestinians have lived there since time immemorial. What is happening is genocide. Zionists are extremists, and Hamas needs to go. Zionists and Hamas have been making sure this happens together. Does Hamas really care for the everyday Palestinian person? |
