Twenty-eight countries, including Canada and Britain, have issued a call for an immediate end to Israel’s war on Gaza. During a speech to Parliament Monday, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel’s militarized aid system in Gaza, noting that almost 1,000 civilians have been killed while seeking food since May.

David Lammy: “The new Israeli aid system is inhumane, it’s dangerous, and it deprives Gazans of human dignity. It contradicts long-established humanitarian principles. It creates disorder Hamas is now exploiting, with distribution points reduced from 400 to just four. It forces desperate civilians, children among them, to scramble unsafely for the essentials of life. It’s a grotesque spectacle, wreaking a terrible human cost.”

In more news on Gaza, authorities in Belgium have arrested two Israeli soldiers following a war crimes complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network.
