Description:
World pressure on Israel is increasingly becoming a reality.<br/>The war launched by Israel in the Gaza Strip in response to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, has exceeded its limits, so that the world is increasingly condemning its war crimes.<br/><br/>The condemnation of the world's attitude was manifested in many ways, including most recently on Friday this week at the United Nations headquarters in New York, when the UN General Assembly passed a resolution calling on the Security Council to consider Palestine becoming a full member of the UN.<br/><br/>The resolution drafted by the United Arab Emirates and sponsored by 70 countries was supported by 143 countries, including Indonesia and France, while Britain, Germany, and 23 other countries abstained. Even Britain and Germany's abstention was a major blow to Israel.<br/><br/>Israel itself, along with the United States, definitely opposes the resolution. They are in a group of nine countries that oppose the resolution, apart from Argentina, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and four South Pacific countries, namely Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Papua New Guinea.<br/><br/>It cannot be denied that Israel is increasingly isolated from the world, including from its own allies in the West.<br/><br/>The angry war of revenge waged by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has exposed Israel to diplomatic storms that come repeatedly from all fronts.<br/><br/>Netanyahu's military operations in the Gaza Strip, which continued with the storming of Rafah, which was already occupied by Palestinians who were avoiding war, made the world increasingly condemnable.<br/><br/>They increasingly criticized it after the Israeli government supported the actions of new Jewish settlers in the Palestinian area of the West Bank.<br/><br/>These settlers are increasingly brutal in seizing and expelling Palestinians from their land in the West Bank, to the point where the United States can no longer remain silent, so sanctions are imposed on them.<br/><br/>Individuals, Jewish community groups, and even army battalions composed mostly of Jewish settlers were targeted by United States sanctions.<br/><br/>Embargoes and sanctions.<br/><br/>The sanctions also target Netanyahu's political allies, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who is a major far-right figure in Israel.<br/><br/>Ben Gvir is one of the Israeli right-wing figures who advocates the total destruction of Hamas and the expulsion of the Palestinian population from Gaza to Sinai in Egypt.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a number of Western countries are taking further steps. Ireland and Spain said they would immediately grant formal recognition to the Palestinian state, followed by Malta and Slovenia.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in South America, Colombia became the second country in the region to cut diplomatic relations with Israel after Bolivia.<br/><br/>This diplomatic threat was also followed by a wave of economic embargoes and boycotts, including calls for a trade embargo, which are currently being increasingly voiced in European Union forums.
