The leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom, and France have issued a sharp warning to Israel: halt the military escalation in Gaza and the West Bank and allow full humanitarian access, or face targeted sanctions. Their joint statement called Israel’s recent aid concession “wholly inadequate” and described the civilian suffering as “intolerable.” The leaders also condemned any expansion of settlements, labeling them illegal and a threat to peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. The warning follows Israel’s announcement of plans to take “control of all of Gaza,” a move rejected by Palestinians and criticized internationally.
