The United Kingdom, France, and Germany have once again denounced the situation of the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip as "appalling," against the backdrop of Israeli raids and restrictions on essential supplies. They have announced a joint plan for the airlift of aid—reauthorized yesterday by Israel in response to growing international pressure—in partnership with countries such as Jordan.

This was stated in a statement released today by Downing Street, following a new three-way phone call between Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz.

The three countries also agree on the need for Iran to resume cooperation with the IAEA, the UN atomic agency, "by the end of August" and "return to the diplomatic table" on its nuclear programs, threatening to reimpose "sanctions" against Tehran otherwise.

During the call, the three leaders also reiterated their support for Ukraine, calling for "more pressure" on Russia to push "Putin to sit at the negotiating table."
