With US backing, Israel’s rising global isolation over Gaza is not a ‘game changer’

By Tom Hussain

After two years of warfare with Hamas that the United Nations says has brought genocide and famine to Gaza, Israel finds itself more isolated than ever, as it remains intransigent in pursuing its goal of defeating the militant group and rejecting rising global support for Palestinian statehood.

Many of its Western allies, including Australia, Britain, Canada and France, have recognised – albeit conditionally – the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority as the government of a non-existent Palestinian state.

International celebrities, including Hollywood A-listers like Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix and George Clooney, have joined a filmmakers’ boycott of Israel-funded projects.
