The United Kingdom has issued a warning against any attempt by Israel to remove British officials from a Gaza ceasefire coordination center, responding to reports that Israel is considering such expulsions. The UK government stated its commitment to the 20-point Gaza peace plan and that removing its officials would "undermine shared efforts."
This development follows the Dutch Foreign Ministry's announcement that Israel was removing two Dutch diplomats from the same center, citing "anti-Israel measures" by the Netherlands, including a ban on trading Israeli products from the occupied West Bank.
Separately, an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza on Friday killed three members of the same family outside Khan Younis, according to hospital officials. The Israeli military stated it was unaware of the strike. These deaths are among the latest casualties in Gaza since a ceasefire attempt in October.
