Starmer: Images of parents in Gaza transporting their children to hospitals are shocking.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed deep concern over Israel's resumption of airstrikes on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, following its breach of the ceasefire agreement.


This came in his answers to questions on Wednesday during the weekly Prime Minister's Questions session in the British Parliament.


Starmer said: "I am deeply concerned by Israel's resumption of military action in Gaza. The images of parents taking their children to hospital and large numbers of people killed that have resurfaced over the past few days are truly shocking."


He stated that Britain would "do its utmost" to restore the ceasefire, release Israeli prisoners held by Palestinian factions, and deliver urgent aid to Gaza, which has begun to suffer from famine due to the stifling Israeli blockade.


At dawn on Tuesday, Israel intensified its war of extermination in Gaza and reneged on a 58-day ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas, brokered by Qatar and Egypt and supported by the United States.


Israel suddenly escalated its genocidal crimes with violent, widespread airstrikes targeting civilians, resulting in "436 martyrs and more than 678 injuries," according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
