The statement indicated that the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom firmly oppose the Israeli Security Cabinet's choice on August 8 to begin another extensive military operation in Gaza.
It highlights that these proposals breach international humanitarian law, exacerbate the dire humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory, and jeopardize the safety of Israeli hostages.
The ministers emphasized the need for the parties and the global community to exert all possible efforts to bring “a definitive end to this dreadful conflict immediately with a lasting ceasefire.”
They believe this will help “to guarantee large-scale, prompt, and unrestricted humanitarian assistance, as the dire situation of widespread famine is developing in Gaza.” Simultaneously, the foreign ministers insisted that the Palestinian group Hamas “free all hostages without any additional delays or conditions.”
