In the letter, dated 31 December 2024 but surfacing on Thursday, the parliamentarians argued that Israel has failed to destroy Hamas in Gaza “despite it being a small territory with an enemy without the tools of a modern army" and called for what would essentially be a choking off of the northern third of Gaza.

The north has already been under a devastating siege for three months.
