After a meeting of Australian and UK foreign and defence ministers in Adelaide, the allies issued a statement that stressed the"urgency of an immediate cessation of fighting in Gaza to allow aid to flow and hostages to be released".Providing weapons to Israel that kill more Palestinian civilians is a"war on human rights" and nothing justifies continuing arms sales, according to the UN special rapporteur on human rights defenders.
0137 GMT — Footage of French-Israeli soldier mocking Palestinian torture victims ‘shocking and disgusting’ "The EU calls for an immediate humanitarian pause leading to a sustainable ceasefire. Full & safe humanitarian access into Gaza is essential to provide the civilian population with life-saving assistance in a catastrophic situation in Gaza," European Council President Charles Michel said as a joint text agreed upon by EU’s 27 heads of state and government was released.
Saying that Israel has demonstrated over time that it will use such weapons"indiscriminately against Palestinians," Lawlor noted that any claims by Israel of self-defence have long since been"invalidated" by the disproportionality of the response.The United States will bring a UN draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an Israel-Hamas hostage deal to a Security Council vote on Friday morning, a US spokesperson said.
