Currently engaged in one of the bloodiest conflicts in Middle Eastern history, Israel and Palestine are already picking sides in the international community.
Digital Desk; The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have decided to enter Gaza and launch an offensive against the Palestinian terror organisation Hamas, worsening the situation between Israel and Palestine. This decision puts the lives of thousands of civilians in danger.
While many nations have condemned the terror acts by Hamas against Israel, several governments have recently slammed Israeli forces for infiltrating Gaza and the high death toll in the region after the IDF began retaliatory attacks.
Currently engaged in one of the bloodiest conflicts in Middle Eastern history, Israel and Palestine are already picking sides in the international community. Here is all you need to know about who is supporting who amid the Israeli attacks on Hamas and Gaza.
Countries showing support for Israel
After Hamas carried out a terrorist attack against Israel, a number of nations, including the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, have shown their support for the Jewish state. The US ultimately sent a supply of weapons to help the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) attack Hamas in Gaza.
Along with the US, nations including France, Germany, Norway, Australia, and Austria issued stern statements denouncing the Hamas militant organisation and expressing sympathy for the hundreds of Israelis who died as a result of the terror attack.

Middle Eastern nations held protests and rallies in solidarity with Gaza, which has been plagued by violence, and in memory of those who died as a result of Israeli attacks.
