US support "to Israel's right to defend itself is ironclad... and that's not going to change."

The US' "ironclad commitment to Israel's security... has never been stronger."

"Without humanitarian aid, even our best friends will find it difficult to support us for a long time."

"Israel has to be very careful, because you're losing a lot of the world, you're losing a lot of support."

"If [Israel] keeps this up with this incredibly conservative government... they're going to lose support from around the world."

Israelis "are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation."

"[U]nless Israel changes its course it will continue to lose support."

Israel is "burning through its reserves of international support."

"When all this is over... International sympathy will have expired and Israel will be forced to exist in an even greater state of siege."

Will Israel Lose International Support for Its Campaign in Gaza?

Egypt announced on Sunday to formally support South Africa's lawsuit against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) alleging violation of the Genocide Convention in the Gaza Strip.

Egypt claims that these "systematic practices" in Gaza, where over 35K Palestinians were reportedly killed, constitute a serious breach of international law and the 1949 Fourth Convention for the Protection of Civilians in Wartime.

Egypt's decision was made as the Israeli military expands its ground operations in Gaza's southern city of Rafah and Cairo reportedly declares that Israel's escalating actions are jeopardizing its peace treaty with Tel Aviv.

On Friday, South Africa urged the ICC to issue additional emergency measures against Israel, calling for the immediate withdrawal and cessation of the Rafah offensive and allowing the free influx of humanitarian aid.

Middle East Eye

Rejecting the genocide allegations as false and defamatory, Israel claims that it is complying with international law with the right to defend itself after Hamas reportedly killed about 1.2 people taking 252 hostage.

There is a 99% chance, that Israel will expand its ground invasion to the city of Rafah before June 1, 2024, according to the Meticulous prediction community.
