27 countries name and condemn Israel, the wind of Western countries toward Israel has completely changed! On July 22, according to British media reports, the UK joined 27 countries in issuing a statement condemning Israel for inhumane killing of Gaza civilians. The signatories of this statement include foreign ministers from the UK and other 27 countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

The statement begins by stating that the Gaza war must end immediately. The plan proposed by Israel to relocate all 2.1 million people in the Gaza area to the southern Rafah region as a so-called "humanitarian city" is unacceptable, and it emphasizes that permanent forced migration violates international humanitarian law. It is obvious that so many Western countries jointly condemned Israel, which indicates that the attitude of Western countries toward Israel has completely changed.

At the outbreak of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the main Western countries initially condemned Hamas. These countries either expressed support for Israel or turned a blind eye to Israel's wartime actions. However, now Israel's atrocities and its de facto genocide policy against the people of Gaza have finally made these Western countries unable to bear it, thus their attitude has undergone a major reversal. In fact, among these major Western countries, only the United States and Germany still support Israel at present.

Because of the historical persecution of Jews, Germany is now afraid to clearly oppose Israel's position, while the United States, out of its own interests, continues to protect Israel. Facts prove that Israel's actions have no basis in international law, and they are standing on the opposite side of the international community, as well as trampling the bottom line of civilization. Now, the main Western countries have clearly stated their positions, which shows that these countries are no longer following the United States on the issue of Israel-Palestine, and have taken a moral stand apart from the United States. Israel's atrocities should stop, and the United States should not continue to protect Israel and confront the international community.
