As Israel faces a tsunami diplomatic, Trump is silent

This week, the title in the Liberal Daily Haarets Israel said: “Diplomatic tsunami is approaching,” – warned that “Europe is starting to act against” full madness “of Israel in the newspaper.

Diplomatic attack this week has taken a lot of forms, not all of them.

From the coordinated international condemnation of Israel’s actions to Gaza, to the shocking murder of two young Israeli Embassy staff in Washington, it was gently to be a violent week for the Jewish state.

The waves began to break on the shores of Israel on Monday night, when Britain, France and Canada made a joint statement condemning his “outrageous” actions in Gaza.

All three warned of the possibility of “further concrete actions” when Israel continued the updated military offensive and failed to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid.

They also threatened the “targeted sanctions” in response to the settlement of Israel on the occupied West Bank.

Then a statement was made by 24 donor countries, which condemned the new model of assistance to Israel for Gaza.

But it was just the beginning.

On Tuesday, Britain rejected trade talks with Israel and stated that the 2023 roadmap was considered for future cooperation.

The sanctions were imposed on Jewish settlers, including Daniel Weiss, a famous figure who participated in Louis Terra’s recent documentary.

The Israeli Ambassador to London, Tzipi Hotaven, was summoned to a foreign service, and this step is usually reserved for representatives of countries such as Russia and Iran.

What is worse for Israel, EU foreign policy chief Kaj Kalas said that the “strong majority” of the block is in favor of reviewing the 25-year association agreement with Israel.

The reasons for this bargain of diplomatic condemnation seemed quite clear.

Evidence that Gaza was closer to the mass hunger than at any time after the war, after Hamas’s attack in October 2023, sent pulsations around the world.

The military offensive of Israel and the rhetoric that surrounded it suggested that the conditions on the territory of the victims were going to deteriorate again.

Addressing the deputies on Tuesday, British Foreign Minister David Lami nominated Israel Finance Minister Lesal Smatrich, who told about the “purification” of Gaza, destroying what was left “and moving civilians to third countries.

“We must call it what is,” Lami said. “It’s extremism. It’s dangerous. It’s pushing. It’s awful. And I condemn it in the strongest conditions.”

Smatrich is not one who makes decisions when it comes to waging a gas war. So far, his protected remarks could be set in one way.

But those days seem to end. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considered correctly or incorrectly, it is considered as a thrall of his extreme colleague. Critics accuse him of a tireless war, despite the life of Palestinian civilians or other Israeli hostages who are still held in Gaza.

Countries that have long supported the right of Israel to defense begin to speak “enough”.

This week, obviously, there was a significant moment for UK Prime Minister Sir Keira Starmer, an unwavering defender of Israel (he once said, “I support Zionism without qualification”), which has faced a strong criticism within the Labor Party for his unwillingness to call for a ceasefire last year.

On Tuesday, Sir Keir said that the suffering of innocent children were “completely unbearable”.

In the context of this, the extraordinarily coordinated action of some of the strongest allies of his country, Netanyahu, responded, believing that Britain, France and Canada were guilty of supporting Hamas.

“When mass murderers, rapists, children’s killers and abductors thank you, you are on the wrong side of justice,” he said on X.

“You are on the wrong side of humanity and you are in the other direction of history.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar went on, believing that there was a “straight line” between the Israeli critics, including Starmer, and the murder of Jaron Lyshinsky and Sarah Lin Milgrim, both staff of the Israeli Embassy, ​​killed outside the Jewish Museum in Washington.

But despite the calculations of sympathy after firing, the Israeli government seems to be increasingly isolated, with Western allies and famous members of the Jewish diaspora expressing anger – and longing for war.

Lord Levi, a former Messenger in the Middle East and Advisor Tony Blair, said he supported the criticism of the current government, even assuming that they could come “a little late”.

“In this country, there should be a stand not only from us, but also at the international level, against what is happening in the newspaper,” he said in the BBC Radio 4, calling himself “a very proud Jew … who cares about Israel.”

But silent, throughout this, is the one who could, when he wanted, stop the war.

At the end of the recent Persian Gulf excursion, Donald Trump said “a lot of people is starving.”

White House representatives said the US president was disappointed with the war and wanted the Israeli government to “wrap”.

But while other Western leaders produce indignation, Trump says almost nothing.
