The UK escalated its criticism of Israel's Gaza offensive, suspending free trade talks and imposing new sanctions on West Bank settlers. Foreign Secretary David Lammy called Israel's policies "abominable" and "indefensible." This follows a joint statement from the UK, France, and Canada condemning Israel's actions. Prime Minister Keir Starmer echoed concerns about the humanitarian crisis, urging a ceasefire and increased aid to Gaza. The move comes amidst growing international pressure on Israel due to the blockade of Gaza and the high civilian death toll.
