UK, Canada and 26 other countries say the war in Gaza ‘must end now’

Twenty-eight countries including Britain, Japan and a host of European nations issued a joint statement Monday saying the war in Gaza “must end now” — the latest sign of allies’ sharpening language as Israel’s isolation deepens.

The foreign ministers of countries also including Australia and Canada said “the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.” They condemned “the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food.”

The statement described as “horrifying” the recent deaths of over 800 Palestinians who were seeking aid, according to the figures released by Gaza’s Health Ministry and the U.N. human rights office.

“The Israeli government’s aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity,” the countries said. “The Israeli government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law.”

Israel and U.S. reject the criticism

Israel’s Foreign Ministry rejected the statement, saying it was “disconnected from reality and sends the wrong message to Hamas.” It accused Hamas of prolonging the war by refusing to accept an Israeli-backed proposal for a temporary ceasefire and hostage release.

“Hamas is the sole party responsible for the continuation of the war and the suffering on both sides,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein posted on X.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also rejected the statement from many of America’s closest allies, calling it “disgusting” in a post on X and saying they should instead pressure the “savages of Hamas.”

Germany was also notably absent from the statement.

I agree. Israel needs to go Field Marshall Zhukov on the unassimilated Arabs terrorizing Judea and Samaria.

Recently, Trump ended the war between Congo and Rwanda. Never heard anything about that.

Easy for anyone to say when Palestinian terrorists aren’t trying to kill you every day of the year.

Once Israelis live in Gaza again, and Arabs are living in an Islamic country, there will be peace ✌️

Fine.

hamas gives up ALL the hostages.

Israel has said that that’s what would end it.

Until such time, I hope Israel continues to destroy hamas tunnels and other terror infrastructure to prevent a recurrence of Oct 7.

‘He bombs everything all the time’: WH said to fuming at ‘madman’ Netanyahu
The Times of Israel ^ | July 20, 2025 | Lazar Berman
Posted on 7/20/2025, 4:17:18 PM by McGruff

The White House is alarmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisions in Syria, multiple officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration were quoted Sunday as saying, branding the premier a “madman” and “a child who just won’t behave.”

“Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time,” a White House official was cited as saying by the Axios news outlet, using the premier’s nickname. “This could undermine what Trump is trying to do.”

Israel began carrying out strikes on Syrian troops rolling into Sweida on Tuesday after local government forces were accused of killing scores of people in the Druze city of Sweida, and on Wednesday the IDF struck key buildings in Damascus.

“The feeling is that every day there is something new. What the F*^$?” said a second senior US official after an Israeli tank shell hit a church in Gaza, killing three people, in what the IDF says was a mistake.

While Trump did not publicly address the strike on Gaza’s only Catholic church, he held an angry phone call with Netanyahu and demanded that he release a statement expressing regret over the incident, which the premier did a short while later.

Mind your own business. It’s just like Britain to tell other countries what to do. They never got over that “empire” thing.

The basic human right is that of self preservation. Israel has the right to protect itself.

Well, they should go in there an end it. Otherwise their “it must end” sounds pretty hollow.
