37 individuals were killed in Rafah by Israeli attacks, however two captives who had been taken from the region on October 7th were freed by special forces.
The UK is “very concerned” about the situation on the Gaza-Egypt border, according to the former prime minister.
According to local health experts, the city’s strikes claimed the lives of 37 individuals.
In the meantime, the UK sanctioned four Israeli settlers in the West Bank who were allegedly violating human rights.
A travel and visa ban have been imposed on Moshe Sharvit, Yinon Levy, Zvi Bar Yosef, and Ely Federman, coupled with a freeze on their UK assets.
According to the Foreign Office, the West Bank saw unprecedented levels of violence in 2023 as a result of Israel’s “failure to act,” which had created “an environment of near total impunity for settler extremists.”
“Those involved in some of the most egregious abuses of human rights are subject to restrictions as a result of today’s sanctions,” Lord Cameron stated. Let us be clear about what is going on in this situation.
Extremist Israeli settlers are driving out Palestinians from land that is legally theirs and threatening them with guns.
“This conduct is unacceptable and against the law. Additionally, Israel needs to act more forcefully to end settler aggression. All too frequently, we witness pledges and tasks made but not completed.The security and stability of both Israelis and Palestinians are being undermined by radical settlers who attack and kill Palestinian citizens.”
