UK PM Starmer says 'Israel's recent action is appalling' and 'intolerable' | AFP

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls Israel's recent action in Gaza appalling and intolerable. Israel has stepped up its offensive in Gaza in what it says is a renewed push to defeat the Palestinian group Hamas, whose October 2023 attack sparked the war. The health ministry in Hamas‑run Gaza said at least 4,240 people have been killed since Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 54,510, mostly civilians.
