Twenty-eight countries have signed a statement demanding an end to Israel's military actions in Gaza, which have led to severe casualties. Despite this, there has been limited action, as these countries continue to engage in significant bilateral trade with Israel. Many of these nations, including Belgium, France, and the UK, have extensive trade relations involving imports and exports totaling over $1 billion. Critics highlight the contradiction between their condemnations and ongoing economic ties, with sanctions or impactful actions lacking. Countries like Ireland and Spain have recognized Palestine and opposed Israel's actions.
Twenty-eight countries, including Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK, have more than $1bn in trade with Israel despite calling for an end to its military action in Gaza.
