Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the leaders of Britain, France and Canada of "emboldening Hamas", after they called for a halt to Israel’s military offensive and an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Earlier this week, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney condemned the Israeli government’s “egregious” actions in Gaza, warning that the allies will take “concrete actions” unless Mr Netanyahu changes course.
