He is worth it, but abroad multiplies the pressure against Israhe for the operation to take the strip. Even inside, with numerous social protests in the streets of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other large Israeli cities.
In the last hours, the European Commission and EU members like Germany, Spain or Netherlandsthe Him, United KingdomTürkiye or Australia have verbalized their rejection. Not only with words in some cases, although More steps are expected forward Once the “total conquest” phase begins officially. Not like that of the USwhose position is limited in ‘letting’ his great ally; Everything else with some critical phrase of Donald Trump.

Out of community Europe, the great actor is United Kingdomwho recently announced his intention of … if Israel not for war. In somewhat less hard terms than other countries, the prime minister, Keir Starmer, has branded “Erroneous” the decision to take gaza, urging Netanyahu to immediately reconsider “something that” will only cause more bloods. “
From the United Nations it has been the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türkwho has indicated that the alleged “total military occupation” of Israel would violate international law and go against the ruling of the International Court of Justicewhich forces to “end their occupation as soon as possible, as well as against the agreed solution of two states and the right of the Palestinian people to self -determination.”
