Western governments stepped up diplomatic pressure on Hamas on Sunday, with French President Emmanuel Macron calling for the group’s “complete disarmament and total exclusion from any form of governance.” Similar demands were issued by U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, the European Union’s foreign-policy chief and a statement from Germany’s chancellor, who said a cease-fire is “inconceivable” without the unconditional release of every hostage still held in Gaza. Germany’s foreign minister warned that Israel’s continuing siege has brought famine, death and widespread suffering to the enclave, urging that United Nations relief agencies be given unrestricted access. An EU foreign-affairs official echoed the appeal, saying large-scale deliveries must reach Gazans now facing acute malnutrition. Several Muslim-majority nations announced new relief shipments. Indonesia’s foreign minister, Sugiono, told a pro-Palestinian rally in Jakarta that the country will send 10,000 tons of rice to Gaza in the coming weeks, adding to what he said were 4,400 tons of aid and hundreds of millions of rupiah already delivered. In Islamabad, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar oversaw the departure of Pakistan’s 17th consignment—100 tons of food, powdered milk, biscuits and medicines—bringing the country’s total assistance since October 2023 to more than 1,600 tons. The humanitarian push follows mounting public anger over the fate of about 50 Israeli hostages and the deteriorating conditions in Gaza. Israeli opposition leaders, former security officials and tens of thousands of protesters have urged their government to strike a comprehensive deal that ends the war and returns the captives, underscoring the political stakes now tied to the spiralling humanitarian crisis.
