    European leaders are succumbing to anti-Israel pressure and undermining crucial security partnerships during wartime. These sanctions proposals ignore Hamas's role in starting the conflict and will only embolden terrorist organizations while weakening Israel's ability to defend itself against ongoing threats from Gaza.


    Metaculus Prediction

    There's a 10% chance that the Gaza war will end and significant progress will be made towards a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict before January 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
