During a press interaction in New Jersey, Trump expressed the urgency to de-escalate the conflict, stating, “Israel, we’ve been talking to them, and we want to see if we can stop that whole situation as quickly as possible.” This contrasts sharply with his earlier stance, wherein he attributed the protracted nature of the conflict primarily to Hamas. Previously, Trump's alignment with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was evident, but recent developments suggest shifting dynamics within international relations concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Amid mounting criticism, the longtime allies—specifically Britain, Canada, and France—issued a joint statement denouncing Israel’s expanded military operations in Gaza as “wholly disproportionate.” The trio also warned of tangible consequences should Israel maintain its current course. Notably, Britain has since halted trade negotiations with Israel and imposed sanctions on certain Israeli extremists active in the occupied West Bank. This represents one of the most significant actions against Israeli interests since withdrawing opposition to an arrest warrant against Netanyahu.

In addition, France is taking the lead in organizing a significant conference in June with Saudi Arabia—aimed at discussions surrounding the potential formation of a Palestinian state, a proposition that Netanyahu has vehemently opposed. The collaborative criticism from these nations signals a growing consensus for a reevaluation of the international community's approach to the Israel-Palestine issue, fundamentally altering the landscape of diplomatic relations in the region.
