The UK and four allies have criticised Israel’s decision to launch a new large-scale military operation in Gaza – warning it will “aggravate the catastrophic humanitarian situation” in the territory.<\/p>\n
The foreign ministers of Britain, Australia, Germany, Italy and New Zealand said in a joint statement that the offensive will “endanger the lives of hostages” and “risk violating international humanitarian law”.<\/p>\n
It comes a day after Israel’s security cabinet approved an operation<\/a><\/strong> to take military control of Gaza City – and concluded a full takeover of the enclave is required to end the conflict.<\/p>\nIt marks another escalation in the war in Gaza, sparked by the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023.<\/p>\nPlease use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2:20<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Can Netanyahu defeat Hamas ideology?<\/p>\nIn their joint statement, the UK and its allies said they “strongly reject” the decision, adding: “It will endanger the lives of the hostages and further risk the mass displacement of civilians.<\/p>\n“The plans that the government of Israel has announced risk violating international humanitarian law.
