Overview
In a shift, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed to allow limited aid into Gaza after a 2.5-month blockade under immense international pressure. This follows a renewed offensive that began on May 5, resulting in hundreds of Palestinian deaths and severe humanitarian crises. The UK, France, and Canada have condemned Israel's military actions, imposing sanctions on West Bank settlers and suspending trade negotiations. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy called the conflict 'morally unjustifiable,' stating that Gaza is nearing famine with ongoing military operations. The international community is poised to take further actions if the situation does not improve.
