28 Countries Call for Immediate End to Israel's Assault on Gaza
---------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty-eight countries, including Canada and Britain, have issued a call
for an immediate end to Israel's war on Gaza. During a speech to
Parliament Monday, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned
Israel's militarized aid system in Gaza, noting that almost 1,000
civilians have been killed while seeking food since May.

David Lammy: "The new Israeli aid system is inhumane, it's dangerous,
and it deprives Gazans of human dignity. It contradicts long-established
humanitarian principles. It creates disorder Hamas is now exploiting,
with distribution points reduced from 400 to just four. It forces
desperate civilians, children among them, to scramble unsafely for the
essentials of life. It's a grotesque spectacle, wreaking a terrible
human cost."

In more news on Gaza, authorities in Belgium have arrested two Israeli
soldiers following a war crimes complaint filed by the Hind Rajab
Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network.
