The foreign ministers of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom strongly condemned the Israeli Security Cabinet’s decision to launch a new, large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
In a joint statement, the ministers said, “The plans announced by the Government of Israel risk violating international humanitarian law.” The statement added, “We are united in our commitment to achieving a two-state solution through negotiations.”
The five foreign ministers called on Israel to urgently find solutions to amend the new registration system it has recently imposed on international humanitarian organizations.
Meanwhile, France on Friday evening strongly condemned the Israeli occupation government’s plan to occupy the Gaza Strip, warning that it could lead to a “complete dead end,” according to a statement by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Paris affirmed its “strong opposition to any plan to occupy the Gaza Strip and forcibly displace its residents.” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot wrote in a post on the “X” platform that “the complete occupation of Gaza will only worsen the already catastrophic situation in Gaza.”
