London: British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper strongly condemned the attack launched by the Israeli occupation forces on Gaza City on Tuesday morning, describing the operation as “utterly reckless and appalling.”

According to Qatar News Agency, Cooper emphasized that such actions will only result in more bloodshed, endanger innocent civilians, and jeopardize the safety of remaining hostages. She expressed her concerns on the social media platform X, calling for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the provision of unrestricted humanitarian aid. Cooper highlighted the need for a path to lasting peace in the region.

The British Foreign Secretary urged the international community to assume its responsibilities in pressuring the Israeli occupation to halt its attacks. She warned that the ongoing military escalation is worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and poses a threat to regional stability. Cooper confirmed that London will continue to work with international partners to ensure adherence to international humanitarian law and encouraged all parties to exercise restraint to prevent further humanitarian suffering.

In recent days, Israeli occupation forces have intensified their operations in Gaza City, conducting violent raids and expanding destruction by bombing and demolishing buildings, aiming to displace Palestinians to the south.
