West continues to support Israel despite rising deaths in Gaza genocide
Western nations continue to provide strong political and military support to Israel, despite a genocide campaign, alongside international calls for a cease-fire, one year after the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip escalated.
The US, UK, Germany, France and Italy, among other Western countries, pledged support for Israel's "efforts to defend itself and its people" following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, 2023. Those nations, particularly the US and the UK, have consistently affirmed Israel's "right to self-defense" and promised to provide all possible assistance.
