Israel's prolonged offensive in Gaza has prompted unprecedented criticism from Western allies. The UK, Canada, and France have threatened sanctions, while the EU is reviewing its key trade agreement with Israel. The UN has warned of potential genocide, citing thousands of deaths and widespread suffering. While Israel's government remains defiant, public opinion within Israel is divided, with growing dissent against the war. Although the US remains Israel's strongest ally, some cracks are appearing in the relationship, as the US has taken independent actions without consulting Israel, raising questions about the future of their alliance.
