European awareness of the Israeli government's actions in the Palestinian territories appears to be finally shifting after years of complicity. Factors contributing to this awakening include Israel's violence in Gaza, the killing of thousands of Palestinians, and the dire humanitarian crisis affecting civilians. Some European countries, like Spain and Ireland, have taken principled stands by recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state and supporting international legal actions. In contrast, others, notably Hungary and the Czech Republic, continue to support Israel unconditionally. This situation may mark a pivotal moment in Europe's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
