The British govt said it's suspending free trade negotiations with Israel and is levelling new sanctions targeting settlements in the occupied West Bank
GAZA CITY/LONDON: Israel pressed ahead on Tuesday with its new military offensive in Gaza Strip despite mounting international criticism, launching airstrikes that health officials said killed at least 85 Palestinians. Israeli officials said they also allowed in dozens more trucks carrying aid.
Britain suspended free-trade negotiations with Israel on Tuesday and summoned its ambassador to the foreign ministry in its toughest stance yet against Israel's conduct in the war in Gaza.
The move came a day after the UK, France and Canada condemned Israel's handling of the war in Gaza and its actions in the West Bank and threatened to take action.
"I want to put on record today that we're horrified by the escalation from Israel," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Parliament on Tuesday.
