Tipping point? Growing pushback against Israel's Gaza offensive • FRANCE 24 English

Aid returning at a trickle into Gaza after a two-month blockade, but troops are on the move and the bombing continues with an average of dozens killed a day the past week. Israel’s prime minister talking up what might sound like a permanent reoccupation. This collective punishment of two million civilians, many, says the UN on the brink of starvation, is exactly the sort of overreaction that Hamas wanted when it perpetrated the worst terror attack in Israel’s history more than 18 months ago. At the time, allies insisted on Israel’s right to respond. But now, even nations with historical reasons for giving the Jewish state a wide berth are critical, the likes of Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK which has just summoned Israel's ambassador while suspending free trade talks. It's signed a communiqué with Canada and France which may recognize a Palestinian state next month. We’ll ask how far the pivot’s gone since October 7th and what sort of future for Palestinians and for Israelis.
