David Lammy, the UK’s foreign secretary, described the military escalation in Gaza as “morally unjustifiable” and announced that the UK has paused trade negotiations with Israel, summoned the country’s ambassador, and placed further restrictions on West Bank residents. The action comes as Israel began a fresh military offensive over the weekend, raising fears of famine in Gaza.
In heated discussions in Parliament, Conservative shadow foreign minister Dame Priti Patel said that Hamas will applaud the measures, but there were also irate demands for the government to take additional action. External pressure, according to Israel’s foreign spokesperson, will “not divert Israel from its path in defending its existence.
Due to the Israeli government’s 11-week embargo on Gaza’s food, fuel, and medication supply, international experts have warned of an impending famine. According to officials, the recent declarations were influenced by the magnitude of the humanitarian catastrophe following two months of siege, as well as mounting public and MP pressure.
Along with the White House’s frustration, President Donald Trump avoided the nation during his Middle East visit last week, and Vice-President JD Vance postponed a trip there this week. Ministers were also reacting to the absence of a clear route towards a ceasefire.
