"The humanitarian catastrophe that we are witnessing in Gaza must end now," a joint statement from the three countries reads.

Germany, France, and the UK urged an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, calling for hostages’ release and humanitarian relief. They backed U.S.-led diplomatic efforts, opposed Israeli annexation moves, and stressed the need for a credible plan for Gaza’s future governance and aid delivery.

The announcement late Saturday followed months of warnings by experts of famine amid Israeli restrictions on aid.
