Things just got serious. Canada, the UK, and France have issued a joint statement calling out Israel over its military actions in Gaza and the West Bank. They say the current situation is unbearable, and if things don’t change fast, sanctions are on the table.
What triggered this? Israel’s limited decision to let in some food aid was slammed as “wholly inadequate.” Meanwhile, its military operations are ramping up again, with the evacuation of Khan Younis underway.
Prime Minister Netanyahu isn’t backing down — he wants Israel to fully control Gaza and is pushing the idea of Palestinian “voluntary” emigration, which Palestinian leaders have rejected outright.
On top of that, new settlements in the West Bank are also under fire. The three countries say they’re illegal and make peace harder to reach.
