“What the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is unacceptable … There is no water, no medicine, the wounded cannot get out, the doctors cannot get in. What he is doing is shameful,” Macron told TF1 television Tuesday

    The US is by far the biggest supporter of Israel. A lot of countries are nice to Israel just to please the US. Trump made that almost useless. Even Germany is not willing to just send all sorts of weapons to Israel anymore, but just some parts. The other large European countries are even less supportive then that, besides maybe the UK. Quite simply without US support Israel has to end the war.

    The other part is Israel breaking the ceasefire agreement with Hamaz and continued local opposition. Israel has lost a lot of good will around the world and that very much includes Europe. It is just that most Europeans do not care that much about Israel to really push their governments to do something and to be fair, they can not do too much anyway.
