“We Will Take Action”: Canada, UK and France Issue Ultimatum to Israel Over Gaza Crisis

Three major democratic allies have drawn a clear red line regarding Israel’s military operations in Palestinian territories. In a forceful joint statement Monday, leaders from Canada, the United Kingdom, and France condemned Israel’s expanded military campaign and humanitarian restrictions in Gaza, threatening concrete repercussions including sanctions. The allies characterized recent food aid deliveries as “wholly inadequate” amid deteriorating conditions. The trio of nations specifically criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government for “egregious actions” while simultaneously affirming Israel’s fundamental right to security. The statement also targeted Israel’s West Bank settlement policy, which the countries deem illegal and harmful to regional stability. This diplomatic pressure comes as Israel intensifies operations across Gaza following Netanyahu’s declaration to take control of the entire territory.
