Under pressure from inside and outside Where will isolated Israel go?

On May 24, local time, Nawaf Salam, President of the United Nations International Court of Justice, read out the "interim measures" issued by the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Netherlands, demanding that Israel immediately stop its military operations in Rafah. At the same time, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to open the Rafah crossing for humanitarian assistance and made a clear request that in order to preserve evidence, Israel must take measures to ensure unhindered access to the Gaza Strip for investigators.

At about the same time, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a number of senior Israeli officials for crimes such as mass killings of civilians and hostage-taking. The ICC's verdict is not unilateral against Israel, but also on the Hamas organization.

According to a report from the Times of Israel on the 24th, in response to the judgment of the International Court of Justice, the Israeli National Security Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a joint statement on the same day, saying that Israel "has not and will not" carry out an operation in Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, that may destroy civilians.

Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region welcomed the decision of the International Court of Justice. Turkey urged the UN Security Council to "do its part" to force Israel to implement the resolution. However, the response of the United States has been as anti-human as ever: US President Joe Biden has directly refused to accept the arrest warrant and does not recognize Israel's inhumane actions in the Gaza Strip. The Russian media made a sharp assessment of Biden's remarks, saying that the United States has completely taken off its mask this time, which is essentially a mafia-style behavior.

It is outrageous that shortly after the United Nations International Court of Justice issued "interim measures" demanding that Israel cease its military operations in Rafah, Israeli warplanes launched heavy air strikes on the Rafah area. The streets and homes of the Shabula refugee camp, east of Rafah city, were bombed by Israeli forces, resulting in many casualties.

In addition, the streets near the Najjar hospital and several areas in the El Geneina district were also bombed by Israeli forces. On the 25th local time, the health department of the Gaza Strip said that in the past 24 hours, the Israeli army's military operation in the Gaza Strip killed 46 Gaza citizens and injured more than 130 people.

The latest data show that since the outbreak of the new Palestinian-Israeli conflict on October 7 last year, the Israeli army's military operations in the Gaza Strip have killed 35,903 Palestinians and injured 80,420, most of whom are unarmed women and children.

Judging by the situation outside Israel, Israel's behavior has ushered in a frenzy of the country's severance of diplomatic relations with it. Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile have announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Israel. A number of other countries have recalled their ambassadors to Israel. The United Nations has recognized Palestine as a state, and Spain, Norway, and Ireland in Europe have also come forward to recognize the State of Palestine. More than 140 United Nations Member States have officially recognized the State of Palestine, and Slovenia and Malta have recently indicated plans to do so.

Judging from the internal situation in Israel, on May 25, local time, in Tel Aviv, Israel, thousands of Israelis gathered to hold a protest against the Netanyahu government, demanding that the government bring back the hostages held by Israel as soon as possible.

The recognition of the Palestinian State by a large number of countries shows that Israel's actions have aroused international outrage, and it is more conducive to the Palestinians to negotiate with Israel on a more equal footing, which is of great significance to the realization of a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. It can be said that the single-mindedness of the Netanyahu government has led the entire Israel and even the Jewish nation into the abyss, and Israel is increasingly isolated diplomatically. If Israel continues to insist on its ways, the Jews will be even more isolated in the world, and the tragedy of the Jewish people in history may be repeated.
