People mourn as they collect the bodies of Palestinians killed in an airstrike on December 19, 2023 in Khan Yunis, Gaza. The United Kingdom, France and Germany are the latest countries to call on Israel to reach a “sustainable truce” after more than two months of war in Gaza, which was sparked by the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas that left 1,200 dead and around 240 taken hostage. In Israel's retaliatory air and ground offensive, nearly 20,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza health officials. The Israeli prime minister has resisted calls for a ceasefire, saying last week that “military pressure is necessary both for the return of the hostages and for victory”.
