The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in a significant shift in global support for Israel. Initially, world leaders sympathized with the Jewish state and visited the region to offer comfort to the people affected by the violence. However, as the conflict continued, doubts and mistrust began to arise among international supporters due to Israel’s refusal to involve the Palestinian Authority in peace negotiations and escalating tensions over the Rafih issue.
The European Union and United States called for a humanitarian ceasefire and adopted harsh resolutions against Israel, further eroding its international credit. Negative coverage of Israeli actions at Shifa Hospital by global media also contributed to a shift in public opinion against Israel. As a result, European countries imposed de facto arms embargoes on Israel, potentially isolating it from international support.
Tragic incidents such as the killing of foreign activists in Gaza only fueled criticism of Israel, further diminishing its international credit. The country now faces increased pressure from its minority of supporters compared to those backing Palestinians, potentially leading to international backlash and isolation if the trend continues.
Israel is undergoing a transformation from an ally to a potential threat to world peace, with a growing minority of supporters compared to those backing Palestinians. This shift in public opinion may lead to increased pressure on Israel and its leadership, potentially resulting in international backlash and isolation if the trend continues.
