Is Israel becoming isolated as more countries indicate recognition of Palestine amid ongoing atrocities?

[Cricket Warrior]

There’s a big shift happening around the world, more and more countries are now moving toward officially recognizing Palestine as a state. Countries like France, the UK, and Malta are either making plans or setting conditions to do it soon. It feels like momentum is building again for the two-state solution.

This change is coming as Israel continues its military operations in Gaza, which a lot of people and groups are calling out as atrocities. The scale of destruction and loss of innocent lives has sparked outrage globally, and public pressure is pushing governments to rethink their positions.

With all this happening the big question is, is Israel starting to lose support from the Western world? Could it become more isolated on the global stage? And what does this all mean for peace in the region moving forward?

Canada follows France and UK with plan to recognise Palestinian state

Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada plans to recognise a Palestinian state in September, becoming the third G7 nation to make such an announcement in recent days.

Carney said such a move would depend on democratic reforms, including the Palestinian Authority holding elections next year without Hamas.

His remarks come a day after the UK announced it would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire and other conditions and a week after France made a similar announcement.

Israel's foreign ministry rejected Canada's announcement, calling it "a reward for Hamas". Most countries - 147 of the UN's 193 member states - formally recognise a Palestinian state.

Yes.

Israel is definitely isolated. Vast majority of the world don't support them. Even some of Israel's allies are starting to turn on Israel.

UK govt minister rejects claims by peers that Palestine recognition unlawful​

A government minister in the UK has rejected claims that plans to recognize Palestine breach international law.

It came after an influential group of House of Lords peers wrote to the attorney general warning against the move by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who had earlier this week pledged to recognize a Palestinian state in September if Israel fails to reach a ceasefire with Hamas, among other conditions.

The group of 38 peers wrote to Lord Hermer in a letter that said Starmer’s pledge may be unlawful under the 1933 Montevideo Convention.

The treaty mandates certain conditions for statehood, which the peers warned a Palestinian state may not fulfill.

Business Minister Gareth Thomas, however, told Sky News on Thursday that the UK is not signed up to the Montevideo Convention.

“I respect the views of those lawyers, but in the end, recognition of a state is a political judgment, and we’ve been very clear that our judgment is that the Palestinians have an inalienable right to statehood,” he said.

“I don’t think we are in breach of international law. We’re not signed up to the Montevideo Convention. We’re clear what needs to happen,” he added.

“The fact that so many other countries have either already recognized the state of Palestine, or are joining our efforts to recognize the state of Palestine, I think is very significant.”

Among other conditions demanded by Starmer from Israel are the entry of more aid into Gaza, an end to land grabs in the West Bank, and a commitment to a long-term peace process.

The peers’ letter claimed that Palestine “does not meet the international law criteria for recognition of a state, namely, defined territory, a permanent population, an effective government and the capacity to enter into relations with other states.” There is no certainty over Palestine’s borders and no single government, they added.

It's shameful that it's taken this long for nations to actually find a conscience. Not hard to see how these same nations would have justified concentration camps, nuclear devastation, and genocide in historical times. We can see in front of our own eyes what mankind is capable of when their motivation is only survival of the fittest.

Israel isn’t being isolated, Netanyahu is. No Western power is actually pushing for a two state solution, but the relentless stream of images on social media and news outlets has forced world leaders to perform concern. It’s political theatre, a way to ensure that when history is written, it says the West stood up to Netanyahu, even if in reality, they merely distanced themselves from the optics.

Slovenia says will ban weapons trade with Israel over Gaza conflict

Slovenia said Thursday that it will ban all weapons trade with Israel over the war in Gaza, in what it said is a first by an EU nation.

Slovenia’s government has frequently criticized Israel over the conflict, and last year moved to recognize a Palestinian state as part of efforts to end the fighting in Gaza as soon as possible.

“Slovenia is the first European country to ban the import, export and transit of weapons to and from Israel,” the government said in a statement late Thursday.

It said it was moving ahead “independently” because the bloc was “unable to adopt concrete measures... due to internal disagreements and disunity.”

Amid the devastating war in Gaza, where “people... are dying because humanitarian aid is systematically denied them,” it was the “duty of every responsible state to take action, even if it means taking a step ahead of others,” the statement said.

It added that the government had not issued any permits for the export of military weapons and equipment to Israel since October 2023 because of the conflict.

Early in July, Slovenia — also in a EU first — banned two far-right Israeli ministers from entering the country.

It declared both Israelis “persona non grata,” accusing them of inciting “extreme violence and serious violations of the human rights of Palestinians” with “their genocidal statements.”

In June 2024, Slovenia’s parliament passed a decree recognizing Palestinian statehood, following in the steps of Ireland, Norway and Spain, in moves partly fueled by condemnation of Israel’s bombing of Gaza after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.

The Israelis will leave absolutely nothing in Gaza, they have obliterated almost everything and made it as uninhabitable as possible. This is the mentality of the chosen ones…

That’s not true. Countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Malaysia, and plenty of others across Asia and Europe recognised Palestine as a state before India ever did. And to be fair, India’s stance has changed quite a bit over the years especially since the Modi government came in, with growing support among Indians for Israel due to their anti Muslim stance

India's continuously reiterated its endorsement for a two-state solution. There's no change in our official stance on this matter.

Public opinion and national stance aren't the same.

He noted the upcoming visit by special envoy Steve Witkoff and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, saying he looked forward to their assessment of the situation on the ground.

“People are very hungry. It’s a terrible situation,” he told reporters at the White House.

A senior White House official said Trump has been “troubled” by images of starving children in Gaza.

Separately, atleast 12 Palestinians have been killed and almost 70 injured in Israli attacks across Gaza since the early hours of Friday morning, according to Al Jazeera.

A two-year-old boy died from severe malnutrition in Gaza, as Israel’s blockade and military strikes intensify the humanitarian crisis in the territory, according to local health officials.

According to a Maariv-published poll by the Lazar Research Institute, 47% of Israelis deny famine is occurring in Gaza, viewing it as Hamas propaganda.

Meanwhile, 41% acknowledge a humanitarian crisis, but among them, only 56% expressed concern, while 44% said they are indifferent.

Their plans to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza or relocate them to a southern concentration zone have been labeled ethnic cleansing.

Israel's war on Gaza

Israeli military has been conducting a devastating offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023 resulting in the deaths of nearly 60,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children. The continuous bombardment has devastated the region and caused severe food shortages.

In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Additionally, Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice related to its actions in the enclave.

Slovenia introduces ban on imports from Israeli-occupied territories

Slovenia on Wednesday introduced a ban on imports of goods produced in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and approved an additional aid package for Palestinians in Gaza, the government said in a statement.

"The government today banned the import of goods originating from settlements in the occupied territories, including a ban on circumventing the ban on these imports," the statement on the government website said.

The statement did not specify whether the ban refers to all goods produced in the territories or just Israeli goods.

The government also instructed the competent ministries to consider banning the export of goods from Slovenia intended for these Israeli-occupied settlements.

"Israeli government's actions, including the construction of illegal settlements, expropriations, the forced displacement of the Palestinian population, the destruction of their homes...constitute serious and repeated violations of international humanitarian law," Prime Minister Robert Golob said in statement quoted by the STA news agency.

Australia to recognise Palestinian state in September

Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, following similar moves by the UK, France and Canada, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.

Albanese said Australia received commitments from the Palestinian Authority (PA) including to demilitarise, hold general elections and continue to recognise Israel's right to exist.

"A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza," he said on Monday.

Israel, under increasing pressure to end the war in Gaza, has said recognising a Palestinian state "rewards terrorism".

Since Saturday, five people have died as a result of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza, bringing the total number to 217 deaths, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

It also said that in total more than 61,000 people have been killed as a result of Israel's military campaign since 2023.

Israel launched its offensive in response to the Hamas-led attack on 7 October that year, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

The Palestinian Authority, which controls parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, earlier said recognition of statehood shows growing support for self-determination of its people.

Albanese said the decision was made after his government received commitments from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that Hamas would play no role in any future state.

The move also comes after conversations with his counterparts in the UK, France, New Zealand, and Japan over the past fortnight, Albanese said.

"There is a moment of opportunity here, and Australia will work with the international community to seize it," he told the media.

Last Sunday, a pro-Palestinian protest drew tens of thousands of supporters who walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge, a day after a court ruling allowed the demonstration to happen.

Netanyahu lashes out at Albanese as ‘weak politician who betrayed Israel’ as diplomatic row escalates​

Benjamin Netanyahu has launched an extraordinary broadside against Anthony Albanese, labelling Australia’s prime minister “weak” in a social media post, hours after local Jewish groups called for calm in diplomatic relations.

“History will remember Albanese for what he is: A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews,” read a post on X from the account of Israel’s prime minister, on Tuesday evening Australian time.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1957722795049398502

Albanese’s office was approached for comment.

It came shortly after Australia’s peak Jewish group urged composure on Tuesday as Israel’s foreign minister warned of “additional measures” against Australia amid a diplomatic “***-for-tat” over visa cancellations.

“There are real-life consequences here and we want to see the countries work through any issues before things get out of hand,” said Alex Ryvchin, the co-chief executive of the Executive Council of Australia Jewry.

Far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman is the architect of a bill to formally change all references to the West Bank to the preferred historical Israeli name, Judea and Samaria.

The Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, accused the Albanese government of “choosing to fuel” antisemitism after cancelling the visa of the far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman ahead of his planned speaking tour in Sydney and Melbourne later this week.

Sa’ar also announced he would revoke the visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority, in a move labelled “unjustified” and “undermining international efforts towards peace and a two-state solution” by Australia’s foreign minister, Penny Wong.

The escalating diplomatic row followed Australia’s decision earlier this month to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN general assembly in September after new commitments by the Palestinian Authority.

Rothman’s visa was cancelled by the home affairs department on Monday, citing “an unacceptable risk” to order in Australia and concern the member of Netanyahu’s governing coalition would make “inflammatory statements to promote his controversial views and ideologies”.

Israeli opposition leader Lapid labels Netanyahu ‘most toxic leader in Western world’

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has responded to Netanyahu’s criticism of Australian PM Anthony Albanese, quipping that Netanyahu is so politically toxic that any feud with him will only boost Albanese’s popularity.

“The thing that most strengthens a leader in the democratic world today is a confrontation with Netanyahu, the most politically toxic leader in the Western world,” wrote Lapid in a post on X. “It’s unclear why Bibi is so quick to give the Australian prime minister this gift.”
