UK, France and others urge Israel to 'reverse decision' to seize Gaza City

Britain, France, Greece, Denmark, and Slovenia have issued a joint statement ahead of a UN Security Council emergency session. The countries urge Israel to reverse its plan to occupy Gaza City, warning it could violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians. Their statement also addresses the "man-made crisis" of mass starvation in Gaza. They demand that Israel lift restrictions on aid delivery to allow humanitarian partners to operate safely and at scale.
