UK, France, Canada threaten Israel against Gaza offensive
…over 70 killed in strikes
LONDON, May 19 (Reuters) – The leaders of Britain, France, and Canada on Monday threatened action against Israel if it does not stop a renewed military offensive in Gaza and lift aid restrictions, piling further pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The intervention comes after the Israeli military announced the start of a new operation on Friday, with Netanyahu saying earlier on Monday Israel would take control of the whole of Gaza. International experts have already warned of looming famine.

“The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law,” a joint statement released by the British government said.
“We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank … We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions.”
Israel has blocked the entry of medical, food and fuel supplies into Gaza since the start of March to try to pressure Hamas into freeing the hostages taken by the Palestinian militant group on October 7, 2023, when it attacked Israeli communities.
“We have always supported Israel’s right to defend Israelis against terrorism. But this escalation is wholly disproportionate,” the three Western leaders said in the joint statement, adding that they will not stand by while Netanyahu’s government pursues “these egregious actions.”
They also stated their support for the efforts led by the United States, Qatar and Egypt for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and said they were committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution.
