Hello and welcome to NewsAff from the BBC World Service.

We're coming to you live from London. I'm James Menendez.

The dividing lines over the war in Gaza are becoming more stark by the day.

In a few minutes, we'll hear how those divisions are playing out in Israel

and the story of how a social media ambush of an opponent of the war

has had unexpected consequences. But they're also playing out on the international stage between

Israel and its traditional allies, countries such as Britain, France and Canada, who this week

condemned Israel's expansion of its military operations in Gaza and its

blockade of humanitarian aid. Well, today Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his

response to that, accusing the leaders of the three countries of playing into Hamas's hands.

These three leaders effectively said they want Hamas to remain in power. They want Israel

to stand down and accept that Hamas's army of mass murderers will survive, rebuild, and repeat

the October 7th massacre again and again and again, because that's what Hamas is vowed to do.

I say to President Macron, Prime Minister

Carney and Prime Minister Starmar, when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers,

thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice. You're on the wrong side of humanity.

And you're on the wrong side of history. Meanwhile're on the wrong side of history.

Meanwhile, conditions for the people of Gaza worsened by the day,

either because of daily airstrikes against what Israel calls terror targets.

Local hospitals in Gaza are reporting a further 22 deaths today,

or because of a severe lack of essentials such as food and medicine and also fuel,

which the UN says is threatening supplies of clean water.
