Summary

Countries say suffering of Palestinians hits new depths
Statement criticises 'drip feeding of aid' in Gaza
Israel says statement 'disconnected from reality'

LONDON, July 21 (Reuters) - A group of 25 Western countries including Britain, France, and Canada said on Monday Israel must immediately end its war in Gaza and criticised what they called the "inhumane killing" of Palestinians, including hundreds near food distribution sites.
The countries in a joint statement condemned what they called the "drip feeding of aid" to Palestinians in Gaza and said it was "horrifying" that more than 800 civilians had been killed while seeking aid.

The majority of those killed were in the vicinity of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites, which the United States and Israel backed to take over aid distribution in Gaza from a network led by the United Nations.

"The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity," the countries' foreign ministers said in a joint statement. "The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths."

The call by about 20 European countries, as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, for an end to the war in Gaza and the delivery of aid comes from many countries which are allied with Israel and its most important backer, the United States.

systems and ordnance at no cost, that we back them up with our own forces and use our position on the UN Security Council to veto any resolution against them, the US silence on the matter is barely an afterthought.

Hamas does not care about its own people. Hamas started this war by breaking an existing cease fire agreement with Israel on Oct 7, 2023.

And Hamas is the one who said no to the cease fire deals Israel agreed to - which were supported by Egypt, Qatar and the U.S. - in Aug 2024, May 2025, and the cease fire deal on the table right now.

Israel said yes to the current deal on the table. But Hamas just drags its feet. World pressure should be squarely on Hamas to accept a cease fire. Hamas started and is perpetuating this war. It could stop the killing immediately, if that was its goal.

Free Palestine- from Hamas.

But it goes way back. Look up Jewish Terroism in the 1940s.
Killing and stealing in the name of God has always been a thing.
I condemn all authoritarian religions.
