Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for Israel's exclusion from international cultural events such as the Eurovision song contest, just as Russia was barred after its invasion of Ukraine.

Britain, France and Canada called the Israeli plans for escalation “disproportionate” and “egregious” at a time when the U.N. is warning the population is at risk of famine.

France said the amount of aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is “totally insufficient,” as a U.N. official said aid trucks were yet to reach those in need.
