France, Canada and the United Kingdom have called for Palestinian sovereignty at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) with French President Emmanuel Macron condemning the world’s failure to act against Israel’s restrictions on aid to Gaza as shameful.

Macron’s impassioned address on Tuesday came as Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians in Gaza City despite a “ceasefire” brokered by the United States in October. More than 73,900 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel’s genocidal war began in October 2023, including 1,399 since the “ceasefire” took effect.
