Global public opinion is moving further away from Israel, and many are left disappointed and bewildered by the indiscriminate ferocity of the Israeli war machine. Joe Biden declares himself “outraged and heartbroken”, and has issued his toughest criticism of Israel yet: “Incidents like yesterday’s simply should not happen. The US has repeatedly urged Israel to deconflict their military operations against Hamas with humanitarian operations, in order to avoid civilian casualties.” Rishi Sunak has personally intervened with Mr Netanyahu, and pointedly told him that “far too many aid workers and ordinary civilians have lost their lives in Gaza and the situation is increasingly intolerable”. Israel’s prime minister might usefully consider that the best way forward for his country is for someone else to give Israel fresh leadership, and the region new hope.
