SOUTHERN ISRAEL, ISRAEL - MARCH 18: Israeli soldiers stand on a tank as it is taking position in front of the northern Gaza Strip as seen from a position on the Israeli side of the border on March 18, 2025 in Southern Israel, Israel. Hundreds were killed in Gaza in Israel's overnight strikes across the territory, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. They were the largest strikes since a ceasefire started on January 19; that truce reached the end of its first phase and negotiations on beginning its second phase had appeared to falter.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Canada, the UK and France of giving Hamas “a huge prize” by threatening to take action against Israel over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his British and French counterparts threatened “targeted sanctions” on Israel, partly because of its renewed military offensive in Gaza.

The UK moved first on the threat by suspending free trade negotiations with Israel and ordering new sanctions targeting West Bank settlements.
