Macron, Starmer, and Carney: They Will Not Stand Idly By in the Face of Netanyahu Government's "Scandalous Actions"
French President Macron, British Prime Minister Starmer, and Canadian Prime Minister Carney warned on Monday that they would not stand idly by as the Israeli government led by Netanyahu carries out its "scandalous actions" in Gaza. They also threatened that if the Israeli government does not stop its military offensive and lift the humanitarian aid blockade, they will take "concrete measures".
The French president, British prime minister, and Canadian prime minister stated in a joint statement on Monday: "We are determined to recognize the State of Palestine in order to contribute to the realization of the two-state solution and are prepared to work with other countries for this purpose".
The three leaders said: "We firmly oppose Israel's expansion of its military operations in Gaza". The three leaders added that the degree of suffering endured by people in Gaza is "unacceptable".
The three leaders believe that the amount of food allowed into Gaza announced by Israel is "completely insufficient", and called on the "Israeli government to stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter (Gaza)".
Starmer, Carney, and Macron also condemned that the "language recently used by members of the Israeli government and their threats to force Gaza civilians to flee are disgusting".
At the same time, the three leaders also recognized Israel's right to "self-defense" against "terrorism". They called on "Hamas to immediately release all hostages cruelly held since October 7, 2023", but considered Israel's authorities' escalation actions "completely disproportionate".
