The Spin

The international community must hold Israel accountable for its occupation of Palestinian territories, and an arms embargo will prove crucial to safeguard global legal standards and cease humanitarian crises. It's time for nations to take decisive steps against Israel to protect Palestinian lives and uphold international law.

UN officials have in the past virtually justified Hamas' terrorism by pointing to an alleged "suffocating occupation" in a blatant show of a systemic bias against Israel. Influenced by nations like Russia, China, and some Muslim-majority states, the UN keeps portraying Israel as an oppressor while downplaying atrocities committed by groups like Hamas.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 1% chance that any two countries out of the US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, or Australia will curtail diplomatic ties with Israel before 2025, citing Israel’s military actions in Gaza, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
