Western military aid for Israel persists despite Gaza humanitarian crisis

political and military support to Israel, despite a genocide campaign, alongside international calls for a ceasefire, one year after Israel's Gaza invasion. The US, UK, Germany, France and Italy, among other Western countries, pledged support for Israel's "efforts to defend itself and its people" following an incursion by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7, 2023. Those nations, particularly the US and the UK, have consistently affirmed Israel's "right to self-defence" and promised to provide all possible assistance.
