war on Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cThis also reflects a broader consensus beyond Europe,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEuropean nations have condemned the situation in Gaza, and now you have foreign ministries \u2013 such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan \u2013 that put their names in this statement,\u201d our correspondent said.<\/p>\n
The new joint statement called for an immediate ceasefire, saying countries are prepared to take action to support a political pathway to peace in the region.<\/p>\n
Israel and Hamas have been engaged in ceasefire talks, but there appears to be no breakthrough, and it is not clear whether any truce would bring the war to a lasting halt. Netanyahu has repeatedly asserted that expanding Israel\u2019s military operations in Gaza will pressure Hamas in negotiations.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Parliament, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy thanked the United States, Qatar and Egypt for their diplomatic efforts to try to end the war.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no military solution,\u201d Lammy said. \u201cThe next ceasefire must be the last ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n
Israel launched the war on Gaza after Hamas led an attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing at least 1,129 people and taking 251 others captive. Fifty captives remain in Gaza, but fewer than half are thought to be alive.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s military offensive has killed more than 59,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry, mostly women and children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The countries also denounced Israel\u2019s aid delivery model in Gaza, saying it \u2018deprives Palestinians of human dignity\u2019.
