Israeli plans to extend control over Gaza City, approved by Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet, have stirred significant controversy. Key political figures, including Sir Keir Starmer and Sir Ed Davey, condemned the plans as likely to exacerbate violence and humanitarian crises. Starmer emphasized that the actions would not resolve the conflict or aid hostages held by Hamas, calling instead for a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and a negotiated solution. Davey described the plans as potentially leading to ethnic cleansing and harming the lives of millions of Gazans.
This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only bring more bloodshed.
Every day the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and hostages taken by Hamas are being held in appalling and inhuman conditions.
This plan will only serve to wreak more devastation on the lives of millions of Gazans - whose homes and communities have already been destroyed - while endangering the lives of those hostages still held by Hamas.
Our message is clear: a diplomatic solution is possible, but both parties must step away from the path of destruction.
