A recent joint statement by 25 countries has brought international attention to Israel’s military actions in Gaza, calling for an immediate end to the ongoing war.
The statement follows rising concern over the large number of civilian casualties, especially those occurring near aid distribution points.
Hamas responded by saying the international call shows growing awareness of what it describes as serious violations committed by Israel’s government.
The group pointed to recent incidents where hundreds of civilians lost their lives near humanitarian aid locations jointly linked to the United States and Israel.
These deaths, Hamas claims, reflect the violent nature of Israel’s approach to controlling access to food and supplies.
The situation around the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) zones has grown worse since its launch in late May.
According to recent figures, over 900 Palestinians have died while trying to access food under fire from Israeli forces.
These aid zones were meant to ease the crisis in Gaza, where shortages of food, water, and medicine have reached alarming levels.
The joint statement from the 25 countries was released amid rising pressure on Israel to change its military tactics.
Many international groups and governments are increasingly concerned about how the war is affecting civilians, especially those in need of urgent humanitarian aid.
The number of casualties has continued to rise, raising questions about the safety and fairness of distributing food in conflict areas.
The deaths near food distribution points have drawn sharp criticism from humanitarian agencies, which argue that aid should never become a battleground.
With calls for a ceasefire growing louder, the international community appears to be taking a firmer stance on how the conflict is being handled.
