SINGAPORE, July 25 — Singapore has condemned the denial of humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling it a violation of international humanitarian law. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on Thursday described Israel’s military response as “unconscionable” and urged an immediate ceasefire.

How international condemnation of Israel gives Hamas hope and a reason to keep dragging its feet. Imagine that you are in control of a piece of territory and your people are suffering terribly and facing a hunger crisis.

The United States is recalling its negotiating team from Doha, where talks on a ceasefire to end the war in Gaza have been taking place, with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff saying the latest response from Hamas “clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire.”

President Emmanuel Macron published a letter sent to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas confirming France's intention to press ahead with Palestinian recognition and work to convince other partners to follow suit.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his ceasefire negotiators will return to Israel from Qatar for further consultations. U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff said in a statement that the U.S. was doing the same. They made the decision after Israel received Hamas’s response to mediators’ proposal for a 60-day truce.

LONDON (AP) — Britain threatened Tuesday to take further action against Israel if it does not agree to end the war in Gaza, a day after two dozen mostly European countries condemned Israel’s restrictions on aid shipments into the territory and the killings of hundreds of Palestinians trying to reach food.

"The prolonged suffering of innocent civilians in Gaza arising from the excessive Israeli military reaction to the terror attacks of Hamas since Oct 7, 2023, is unconscionable," said Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
