Global South nations pressure Israel; others follow
Several nations are increasing pressure on Israel regarding its war on Gaza, with the "Hague Group" of countries agreeing to measures to limit Israeli actions. This follows growing international condemnation. The Hague Group, comprised of nations from the Global South, has agreed on measures including arms supply blocks and a review of contracts. Slovenia banned two Israeli ministers. The UK, France, and Canada have also issued sanctions. Public opinion and protests are growing worldwide, while the US, despite some criticism, continues to support Israel. This support includes diplomatic and military backing, and sanctions against Israel's critics.
