Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan to fully occupy Gaza City, triggering strong international condemnation. Countries such as Sweden, Russia, the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Norway, and Spain voiced opposition. Sweden’s Foreign Minister called the decision a violation of international law. Russia and the UN Human Rights Commissioner stated the move contradicts global calls for a ceasefire and undermines efforts toward a two-state solution. The UN urged Israel to allow unrestricted humanitarian aid into Gaza instead of escalating the conflict.
