UK, France and Canada threaten action against Israel over Gaza offensive | BBC News

The UK, France and Canada have warned Israel they will take "concrete actions" if it continues an "egregious" expansion of military operations in Gaza.

Sir Keir Starmer joined the French and Canadian leaders to call on the Israeli government to "stop its military operations" and "immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza".

Israel ended an 11-week blockade on aid entering Gaza on Monday, but UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said only five lorries got in, and the aid hasn’t reached anyone yet.

In comparison, 500 lorries entered Gaza per day before the war.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by saying the three leaders had offered a "huge prize" for Hamas in the Gaza war.
