The way Israel has been politically crippling itself the last couple of weeks is crazy. Whatever the outcome of this war, they already lost a lot of face with many nations world over, I wonder how this will affect them going forward.

Maybe we'll even call it a western variant of North Korea in the end. All autocrats head to NK apparently.

Jordan also just recalled its ambassador like Chile and Colombia, although that’s not the same thing as severing relations

The three South American countries lambasted Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip and condemned the deaths of Palestinian citizens. Bolivia “decided to break diplomatic relations with the Israeli state in repudiation and condemnation of the aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive taking place in the Gaza Strip,” Deputy Foreign Minister Freddy Mamani said at a press conference. Bolivia and Chile called for a ceasefire and the passage of humanitarian aid into the zone, and said Israel was violating international law. Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the attacks a “massacre of the Palestinian people” in a post on social media network X. “What we have now is the insanity of Israel’s prime minister, who wants to wipe out the Gaza Strip,” said Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Friday. — Saved 57% of original text.
