Europe warns Israel: Gaza aid must not be a 'political tool'
23 April 2025 09:29 BST
The foreign ministers of Britain, France and Germany have urged Israel to comply with international law and permit unrestricted humanitarian aid into Gaza.
In a joint statement released on Wednesday, the ministers stressed: “Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool and Palestinian territory must not be reduced nor subjected to any demographic change.”
They called for all sides to agree to a ceasefire and demanded the immediate release of all hostages held by Hamas. The statement comes amid growing international criticism of Israel’s blockade and worsening conditions inside Gaza.
