France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have intensified their criticism of Israel's ongoing ground offensive in Gaza, calling for an end to the military operations that began after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Israel's actions have been supported by weapons and funding primarily from the United States, with additional diplomatic backing from allied countries.

Following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, Israel launched a military offensive in the Gaza Strip. The operation has involved the use of weapons and equipment largely supplied and financed by the United States. In addition to military support, Israel has also received considerable diplomatic backing from its allies. Recently, however, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have increased their criticism of Israel's ground operations in Gaza. These countries have publicly urged Israel to bring the offensive to an end, reflecting growing international concern over the humanitarian situation and the ongoing conflict. The shift in tone from these nations marks a notable development in international responses to the conflict, as calls for de-escalation and a cessation of hostilities become more prominent.
