Israel's recent threats to escalate its military actions in Gaza and block humanitarian aid have faced strong condemnation from its allies, including Britain, France, and Canada. These countries have suspended talks on a free-trade agreement and demanded that Israel cease its military offensive and humanitarian restrictions. They warned of further concrete actions if Israel does not comply. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the allies' stance as encouraging Hamas. Additionally, a U.N. official has warned of a looming humanitarian crisis, with thousands of babies potentially at risk of death without immediate aid access.
