International criticism of Israel continues to grow as the country's military expands its assault on Gaza, killing scores of Palestinians on a daily basis while blocking food, fuel, medicine and other supplies from reaching the starving population. The U.K. Labour government announced this week it is suspending free trade talks with Israel and imposing sanctions on some Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. The European Union says it will also review its trade ties with Israel.
"There's been an enormous shift in public opinion, and it's caused by utter revulsion at seeing emaciated children starve to death," says Jeremy Corbyn, former U.K. Labour leader who now sits as an independent in the British Parliament.
"We have countries within the EU who are significant weapons providers to the Israeli state. If they wanted this conflict, this war and genocide to end tomorrow, then they need to stop supplying weapons to Israel," says Irish politician Lynn Boylan, a member of Sinn Féin who sits in the European Parliament.
