The foreign ministers of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom have issued a joint statement condemning Israel's decision to launch a new large-scale military operation in Gaza. They warned that the announced plans could risk violating international humanitarian law. Israel's security cabinet recently approved a plan to seize control of Gaza City, intensifying military activity in the already devastated region. The decision has sparked renewed criticism both domestically and internationally, as concerns grow over the ongoing conflict.
