Israel has continued its offensive on several parts of Gaza as the Israeli Defense Forces say they have found Hamas tunnels leading from the Rafah crossing into Egypt.

It comes as the IDF continues to order controversial evacuations from the area.

Israel says it has created a humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, but the UN says the area has no running water and poor sanitation.

Meanwhile, the UK is investigating a claim by Hamas that a British-Israeli hostage has died in Gaza.

Hamas claims Nadav Popplewell died of wounds sustained in an Israeli airstrike more than a month ago.

The Israeli military is yet to comment.

    I despise Cameron he's a two faced lying hypocrite!
  • No words on the killing of thousands of children killed by idf from the David Cameron
  • @tonymcadam8362
    Cameron ordered the UK participation in the bombing of Libya over false claims which the UK Parliament admitted. Quote "UK strategy was founded on erroneous assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the evidence." The guy has blood on his hands. Libya has never recovered.

    How stupid do you think the world is
  • @msbayramoglu1
    What about the thousands of Palestinian hostages kept in inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons?
  • @Talkingsense123
    Cameron calls Hamas inhuman but what about the IOF who have killed over 35,000 people??? 15,000 of which are innocent children who know nothing of territory or religion. A real mask off moment. This war has changed my perspective irrevocably. The narrative is set by the main stream media yet the people are still on the streets fighting for justice for Palestine. It’s the only thing that continues to give me hope for change. The power of the people will not wane. For the Palestinians it must feel like the end of the World, the death and horror is unimaginable. Shame on the British government, I’m so ashamed.
  • Interesting how these dual nationals are Israeli 🇮🇱 citizens when it suits them but suddenly become British citizens 🇬🇧 when they get into trouble!
  • David Cameron needs to experience living in a tent for 7 months.
  • @marcusmiz
    It's quite shocking how they portray the value of the life of a single person but thousands and thousands of Palestinians are ignored.
  • @nickmanning3913
    Are we all still pretending that Israel actually wants these hostages back? Why does the Israeli government not listen to the families of these hostages?
  • How many people believe, that Israel will still be looking for hostages in 2025❓
  • @RoarDog1
    How about the heart ache the Palestinians are going through Cameron you absolute hypocrite.
  • @Derekbrady76
    How do you bomb discriminately and still, expect your hostages to be alive? Don't make sense; they are where you are bombing.
  • @SammyHegab
    Is David Cameron stoned? The hostage was killed by Israeli airstrikes not Hamas. What you smoking dude 😎
  • @davidcheung6404
    For Israel it was never about the hostages. It’s about ethnic cleansing and stealing their land
