Goodwill runs out of the demand for Britain, France and Canada Israel ends Gaza offensive

IDF attacks in Gaza have killed thousands of people since Israel ended its ceasefire in March

After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Israel launched a war, which was mainly paid, supplied and then occupied by the United States.

Its other allies have given Israel something equally powerful in their own way: based on the condemnation of 1,200 killings (mainly Israeli civilians), goodwill and solidarity, seeing 251 people dragged into the captivity of Gaza people.

It now seems that at least in France, Britain and Canada, Israel's credibility has disappeared. They issued the strongest condemnation of the way Israel fought in the Gaza war.

They said Israel must stop its new offensive, and Benjamin Netanyahu said it would destroy Hamas, rescue the rest of the hostages and put all of Gaza's hostages under Israel's direct Israeli military control.

Their statement dismissed Netanyahu's argument and called for a ceasefire. Together, the three governments said they “strongly oppose the expansion of Israeli military operations in Gaza”, adding: “The level of human suffering for the Gaza people is unbearable.”

They called for the release of the remaining hostages and recalled the "heuristic attack" on October 7, where they believed that the State of Israel "has the right to defend Israel from terrorism. However, this escalation is completely disproportionate".

Netanyahu's decision to allow Gaza to what he called "minimum limit" food was "completely inadequate".

Netanyahu fought back, saying: "The leaders of London, Ottawa and Paris have offered huge awards for the genocide attack on Israel on October 7, while inviting more such atrocities".

He insisted that if Hamas returned to the hostages, put down his weapons, agreed to his leader's exile and Gaza was demilitarized, he insisted that the war could end. "No country can accept anything, and Israel certainly won't," he said.

Netanyahu, who was asked by an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, is considered an "anti-Semitist" - under enormous international pressure after a respected international inquiry warned of an imminent international inquiry.

At the London Summit between the EU and the UK, European Council President António Costa called Gaza’s humanitarian crisis “a tragedy that is systematically violating international law, and the entire population is being subjected to disproportionate military force.”

“There must be opportunities for safe, rapid and unhindered humanitarian assistance,” he said.

Netanyahu is reluctant to allow limited supplies decisions, condemned by its supranationalist alliance partners.

Security Minister Itama Ben GVIR, convicted in 2007 for inciting racism and supporting an extremist Jewish group that Israel categorized as a terrorist group, complained that Netanyahu's decision would "fuel Hamas and give oxygen while our hostages were vague in the tunnel".

On Monday, only five trucks entered Gaza, and as Israeli troops advanced, air and artillery attacks killed more Palestinian civilians, including many young children.

The British and Canadian governments said it was too late to say that Israel destroyed opponents in Gaza and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed France.

Many of them held months of demonstrations against the death and destruction of Gaza - during military operations and military operations and attacks by armed Jews, more killings of Palestinian civilians and killings of land confiscations on the West Bank on the other end of the Palestinian territory.

But sometimes, in war politics, an event has a symbolic force that articulates and crystallizes so much that it forces the government to act. This time, Israeli troops killed 15 nursing staff and aid workers on March 23 in Gaza.

This follows Israel on March 18, breaking a series of large-scale air strikes and violating a ceasefire.

Five days in the re-exploding war, an Israeli unit attacked the medical convoy and covered the people they killed, their bullets riding vehicles with sand. Israel’s claims about what happened are incorrect when retrieving cell phones from corpses in large-scale graves.

Its owner filmed the incident before being killed. Israel claims that the potential threat from first responders to Israeli combat soldiers is far from proving Israeli claims, and videos in the graves show that clearly marked, well-lit ambulances and ambulances were systematically attacked until almost everyone in them was killed.

Alerts have been growing rapidly since then, not just Israel’s usual rivals. Its European allies with French president-leading Macron have been strengthening their language. The statement calling for an end to Israel’s offensive is their harshest criticism of Israel.

The high-level diplomatic information in Europe involved in their discussions told me that the difficult language reflects a “real awareness of a humanitarian situation in which the Israeli government appears to be acting impunity”.

The statement to Israel is even more ominous, saying: "We will not be accompanied by our company when the Netanyahu government takes these serious actions. If Israel does not stop the renewed military offensive and lift restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete steps to respond."

They didn't specify what might be. Sanctions may be a possibility. A bigger step is to see Palestine as an independent state.

France has been considering joining 148 other states at a meeting co-chaired with Saudi Arabia in early June. The UK also talked about Palestinian recognition with the French.

Israel struggled to back down and told them they would win against Hamas. But the tone of the statements made by the French, Canadian and British suggests that Israel is losing the ability to pressurize them.
