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?

Israel's Knesset passed a resolution on Thursday rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, with 68 votes in favor and nine against in the 120-seat body.

Voice of America

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and right-wing parties sponsored the resolution, which also received support from Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party abstained from the vote.

Times of Israel

The vote, which does not have legal weight, comes ahead of Netanyahu's trip to Washington to speak before Congress. The Biden administration and the Democratic Party have said that they support the creation of a Palestinian state.

Complicating the situation further, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, saying that he had prayed for the return of Israeli hostages "but without a reckless deal, without surrendering." Tensions at the site have sparked conflict in the past.

Meanwhile, fighting continued across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, with residents in Rafah reporting that Israeli forces had advanced deeper into the western side of the city, stationing atop a hill in the area.

Israel's Knesset passed a resolution on Thursday rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, with 68 votes in favor and nine against in the 120-seat body. The resolution stated that a Palestinian state posed "an existential danger to the State of Israel and its citizens."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and right-wing parties sponsored the resolution, which also received support from Benny Gantz’s National Unity party. Opposition Leader Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party left the plenum to avoid backing the measure.

The resolution generated international backlash, with one Palestinian Authority (PA) official saying that it "confirms the racism of the occupying state and its disregard for international law and international legitimacy, and its insistence on the approach and policy of perpetuating the occupation forever."
