International Outcry Mounts After Deadly Israeli Strike on Gaza Hospital

A recent Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, has ignited a fierce global condemnation, following reports of a ‘double-tap’ attack that claimed at least 20 lives, including five journalists. The incident, which saw a second strike after initial responders gathered, prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to label it a ‘tragic mishap.’

International bodies and world leaders have swiftly reacted. The UN human rights office has demanded ‘justice and accountability,’ highlighting the alarming number of Palestinian journalists killed since October 7, 2023. The European Union deemed the strike ‘completely unacceptable’ and urged an investigation, citing an excessive number of fatalities in the conflict. Downing Street in the UK condemned the ‘indefensible strike,’ with Foreign Minister David Lammy expressing horror and calling for an immediate ceasefire.

US President Donald Trump, while stating he was unaware of the strike, expressed his displeasure and called for an end to the ‘nightmare.’ Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, however, cautioned against premature judgment, preferring to await Israel’s investigation results. Spain’s foreign ministry labeled the strike a ‘flagrant and unacceptable violation of international humanitarian law,’ demanding special protection for journalists. French President Emmanuel Macron declared the strike ‘intolerable,’ emphasizing the need to protect civilians and journalists. Canada’s foreign ministry also condemned violence against media workers and reiterated calls for a permanent ceasefire.
