- Israel launched 'Operation Gideon's Chariots' earlier this month to fully occupy Gaza, resulting in significant casualties and widespread destruction.
- International allies, including the UK, France, and Canada, have criticized Israel's actions, with some countries suspending trade talks and imposing sanctions on Israeli entities.
