LONDON - Britain held free trade talks with Israel on Tuesday and attacked West Bank settlers with sanctions, vowing to "concrete action" in less than a day if Israel did not stop its new military offensive in Gaza.

The pressure from close allies has grown in Israel for three months of lockdown on Gaza, which has led to a warning of famine. Even the United States' staunch allies expressed concern about the hunger crisis.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the government could not continue to negotiate an upgrade of its existing trade agreement with the Israeli government to implement his so-called West Bank policy under Gaza and Israeli occupation.

"History will judge them," Rami said. "Stop aid. Expand the war. Refute the attention of your friends and partners. This is impossible to defend. It must stop."

Israeli ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely was called to the Foreign Ministry, and Central and Eastern Minister Hamish Falconer said he called the 11-week aid blockade called Gaza "brutal and irrefutable."

In addition, the EU's foreign policy head Kaja Kallas said the group is reviewing the EU's dominance agreement related to Israel's war in Gaza. She said the "overwhelming majority" of member states were "very keen to detriment to these people's suffering." She did not provide clear details on the timing and mechanism of the review.

"Totally unbearable"

Rami said the UK is sanctioning further “outposts of three people, two illegal settlers and two organizations supporting violence against the Palestinian community.”

He said that “with the explicit support of the Israeli government”, Israel’s illegal settlements were spread throughout the West Bank.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein called the sanctions on West Bank settlers “unreasonable and regrettable” and said that Britain had not proposed negotiations for a free trade agreement anyway.

Although Lumi's words were welcomed by the House of Commons, others called for stronger action, suggesting economic sanctions on Israel and recognizing the situation in Palestine.

A few members shouted that he called Israel's actions "genocide", although Rami labeled it as "extremist" and "terrible."

Some criticized the joint statement, saying it was in favor of Hamas.

"The expansion of a war against a killing thousands of children is not a reward for Hamas," Rami said.

The news announced by Britain comes in comments by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who called his children's suffering in Gaza "totally unbearable" and repeated calls for a ceasefire.

"I want to record the escalation in Israel today and we are shocked," Stamer said.

Starmer demands a ceasefire

Starmer, along with French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, published one of the most important criticisms of Israel's close allies about the Gaza war and its operations in the West Bank.

If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not stop the updated military offensive and significantly raise restrictions on humanitarian aid, three leaders threaten to take "specific action".

Netanyahu called this statement a "huge award" for Hamas.

Starmer said the ceasefire was the only way to release Hamas still holds dozens of people. He also called for increased transport of humanitarian aid to Gaza, saying the basic amount allowed by Israel was "totally insufficient".

"This war lasted a long time," Steamer said. "We can't let the people of Gaza starve to death."

While Israel allowed the first few trucks with baby food and much-needed supplies to start driving into Gaza on Monday, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher described it as "a drop of the ocean in desperate need." Israel said more and more trucks entered Tuesday.

Tensions between France and Israel

Initially, Israel killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and killed 251 prisoners on October 7, 2023, so much that the surprise attacks of the group resulted in about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, to kill Hamas militants to take root in Hamas militants, and Israel gained full support.

However, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, more than 53,000 people died, the patience of patience is following the deaths of more than 53,000 people in Palestinian deaths, mainly women and children, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in their number. Local health officials said that Israel's latest attack has killed more than 300 people in recent days.

Macron has stepped up diplomatic efforts in recent weeks to put pressure on Israel, urging a ceasefire and calling for the lifting of blockades on humanitarian aid.

Last month, Macron said France should be heading towards recognizing the Palestinian state, which could be a co-chairing of an international conference on the implementation of a two-state solution in June.

Macron said he acknowledged that Palestine was not a "tag" for France and recommended a reexamination of the EU-Israel cooperation agreement last week.

Tensions between France and Israel escalated after Macron called for an October radio interview to stop arms delivery in Gaza, prompting Netanyahu's criticism to prompt arms delivery. France also tried to ban Israeli defense companies to prevent them from displaying weapons at the European Val trade fair.

Settlement Violence

The United States, France, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada have previously imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers and settler groups for their involvement in violence against Palestinians and illegal developments in the West Bank.

These measures exposed approved people and groups, asset freezes, travel and visa bans. The Associated Press previously reported that the effects of these measures as deterrence are minimal.

Since the 2023 Hamas attack, settlers who have injured or died in Palestinians.

Palestinians say Israeli troops are not doing their best to protect them, and these attacks are part of a systematic attempt to expel them from the land.
