International Pressure Mounts on Israel Over Gaza Aid and conflict
A significant bloc of 28 nations, including prominent countries like Britain, france, japan, and Australia, has collectively called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza and for Israel to dismantle its restrictions on humanitarian aid. This joint declaration, issued on July 21st, strongly condemned what it termed the “inhumane killing” of Palestinian civilians and characterized Israel’s approach to aid delivery as “drip feeding.”
The statement, endorsed by the foreign ministers of these 28 nations, expressed outrage that over 800 Palestinians have reportedly lost their lives while attempting to access essential resources like water and food. “We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food,” the ministers declared.Adding to this international chorus, Singapore’s Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, Faishal Ibrahim, voiced his solidarity on July 23rd. he shared his full agreement with the call for an immediate end to the Gaza conflict, emphasizing Singapore’s consistent advocacy for an unimpeded and comprehensive flow of humanitarian assistance into the besieged territory. “I fully share their urgency for the sake of humanity,” Ibrahim stated on Facebook.
israel, however, has rejected the joint statement, dismissing it as “disconnected from reality.” In its response on July 21st, Israel attributed the ongoing lack of a ceasefire agreement and the continued captivity of hostages solely to the actions of the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
the ongoing military operations in Gaza, initiated by Israel in response to Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack that claimed 1,219 lives, have resulted in the deaths of 59,219 Palestinians, the majority of whom are civilians, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-controlled territory. Of the 251 individuals taken hostage by Hamas, 50 remain in Gaza, with the Israeli military reporting that 27 of these hostages are believed to be deceased.
