Israel losing support of friends, allies over Gaza

China Daily  

This handout picture released by the Jordanian Army on Feb 29, 2024 shows humanitarian aid being dropped from a military aircraft over northern Gaza. Consider the words of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who during the recent Munich Security Conference said the situation in Gaza is "untenable", and that conference participants could "imagine our own children living without parents, any water, any food". Echoing that, former United Kingdom defense minister Ben Wallace lambasted what he called Israel's "crude and indiscriminate "bombing and said Israel "is losing support from allies and friends across the world". The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said foreign ministers from the 26 EU states had finally agreed on "an immediate humanitarian pause that would lead to a sustainable cease-fire", urging Israel not to attack Rafah. Finally, US President Joe Biden chimed in, describing Israel's military response in Gaza as "over the top".
