Twenty-five countries, including Great Britain, Canada and Japan, published a joint declaration on Monday with “a simple and urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now”.
The declaration of American allies and partners around the world and Published online by the British government Condemns the method of distributing closely controlled aid of Israel, accusing the government supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “food drips aid and the inhuman murder of civilians, including children”.
“It is horrible that more than 800 Palestinians were killed while asking for help,” said the statement, which was published after one of the deadliest days for assistance seekers during the 21 -month war in Gaza. Health managers in the enclave managed by Hamas said more than 80 people were killed Try to access emergency food supplies on Sunday only.
In addition to the United Kingdom, the nations that signed the joint declaration were Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Portugal Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzer.

“The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. The model for the benefit of aid from the Israeli government is dangerous, feeds instability and deprives the gas dignity,” the statement said. “The denial of the Israeli Government of Humanitarian Aid essential to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law.”
THE War in Gaza was launched by the Hamas orchestrated terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, during which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 other hostages. Most of these captives have since been released, but Netanyahu said earlier this month than 50 remained in Gaza, including 20, according to him, were still alive.
“The hostages have been sorely detained in captivity by Hamas since October 7, 2023 continue to suffer terribly,” the 25 nations said in the press release. “We condemn their continuous detention and call their immediate and unconditional release. A negotiated ceasefire offers the best hope of bringing them home and ending their families.”
Israel does not authorize foreign journalists in Gaza to report on war, which makes it impossible to independently check the figures provided by the Hamas Ministry of Hamas of the Palestinian enclave and other agencies. The Israeli government rejects these figures as being falsely inflated, but the United Nations claim that the ministry’s figure of more than 59,000 people killed in total since the start of the war is the most credible information available.
In a shared declaration on social networks, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Oren Marble Stone said Israel rejected the joint international declaration, “as is disconnected from reality and sends the bad message to Hamas.”
The CBS News team inside Gaza spoke with medical workers and family members of the aid seekers who say that Israeli forces have regularly opened fire to people near food distribution sites since late May, when a new controversial and Israeli controversial organization began to exploit a handful of “humanitarian hubs”.
The deaths reported on Sunday, near a convoy of aid trucks managed by the World United Nations program, were not linked to the Gaza Humaninian Foundation based in the United States, which is led by an evangelical preacher who previously worked as adviser to President Trump. But the Palestinian authorities claim that most of the aid applicants killed by Israeli forces in the last month and a half were trying to access GHF hubs.
GHF director, Reverend Johnnie Moore, told CBS News earlier this month, even if he did not want to “decrease these reports” on murders near GHF hubs, “we cannot control what is going on outside of our distribution sites”.
He repeated his previous calls – which were taken over by the White House – for the United Nations and his humanitarian agencies to join GHF’s efforts to feed people in Gaza.
None of the established humanitarian agencies that have worked for decades in Gaza has agreed to work with the GHF, saying that it forces the Palestinians already moved to travel for kilometers to reach its centers and that it violates fundamental humanitarian principles.
The Trump administration announced its first audience GHF management In early July: $ 30 million in funding.

In a statement on Monday, COGAT, the Israeli military agency responsible for business in the Palestinian territories, said: “Israel acts in accordance with international law and strives to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid in Gaza in coordination with international organizations.”
Israel has blamed Hamas for all deaths in Gaza since the start of the war, accusing it of using civilians as human shields and grasping aid materials for its own use, the two of the group – a long designated a terrorist organization by the United States, Israel and the European Union.
Pope Leo XIV too renewed his call During the weekend for “an immediate end to the barbarism of this war and for a peaceful resolution of the conflict” in Gaza.
Netanyahu said on several occasions that the war will continue until Hamas is made powerless and politically helpless, and that all hostages are returned.
The international outcry and the growing requests of an immediate ceasefire are at a time when there is little to suggest an imminent breakthrough in the current negotiations for a truce. They come to the place as Israel says that he is extending his war on the ground again to Gaza, forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee again for security.
Israel warns against the new floor operation in the center of Gaza
On Sunday, Israel has widened its evacuation orders for Gaza to include an area that has been a little less hard than others, indicating that a new battlefield could open and tighten the Palestinians in ever smaller areas.
In an Arabic language Social media message Published on Sunday, the Israeli defense forces warned that it operated “with great strength to destroy the enemy’s capacities and the terrorist infrastructure” in the central city of Deir al-Balah “because it widens its activities in this region to operate in an area in which it did not work before.
“For your safety, immediately evacuate the area and move south,” said the FDI.
The UN OCHA humanitarian agency estimated that between 50,000 and 80,000 people were in the region under the new evacuation order, and the families were seen carrying the few objects they could on donkey carts, bikes and even dragging sleds behind them while they were heading south.

Deir El-Balah’s resident, Abdullah Abu Saleem, 48, told the French press agency AFP that “during the night, we heard enormous and powerful explosions shaking the region as if it were an earthquake”, which he attributed to “artillery bombardments in the southern central part of Deir El-Balah and the South-Est region.
“We are extremely worried and fearing that the army has planned a ground operation in Deir El-Balah, and the central camps where hundreds of thousands of displaced people take shelter,” he told AFP.
The Israeli army has not made immediate comments on operations, but the radio network GLZ, funded by the Israeli government and affiliated directly to the FDI, reported on Monday that the soldiers had “for the first time since the start of the war,” said Al-Balah on the ground.
GLZ said that a single combat brigade, “including engineering and armor forces, recently entered the southern region of Deir al-Balah in the central camps of the Gaza Strip. The attacks were preceded by air strikes and artisières during the night and in the morning, and in the afternoon, the forces came into action.”
The announced expansion of the ground operations has led to a rapid concern of the group which represents the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza – which is precisely.
“Families demand that the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff and the FDI spokesman will appear before them and the Israeli public this evening to explain clearly why the offensive in the Deir al-Balah region does not put the hostages at risk,” said the headquarters of the hostage family forum in a statement. “From this moment, we have not received any official and organized update or satisfactory responses on this subject. The inhabitants of Israel will not forgive anyone who knowingly endangered the hostages – both the living and the deceased. No one will be able to claim that they did not know what was at stake.”
