'Twenty-eight countries, including Australia, the UK and France, are demanding an immediate end to the war in Gaza and for Israel to lift aid restrictions. The joint statement, signed by Foreign Minister Penny Wong, comes amid growing international concern over the number of deaths at aid sites in the enclave. It criticises what it calls the "inhumane killing" of Palestinians and condemns the "drip feeding of aid". "We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now," the foreign ministers of Britain, Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Canada, Denmark and other countries, and an EU commissioner, said in a joint statement. "We are prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political pathway to security and peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region. ... Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law." The joint statement also includes a condemnation of Hamas's treatment of hostages held captive since the group's October 7, 2023, attack in Israel.'
