The lack of significant action from the international community to halt Israel’s renewed attacks on Gaza is yet again a sign there will be no consequences for killing and displacing Palestinians, an analyst tells Al Jazeera.
“There are no consequences. It doesn’t matter what the UN Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the EU or individual countries say about the red lines Israel is crossing,” Luciano Zaccara, a professor at Qatar University, told Al Jazeera.
“Nothing that happens outside of Israel bothers Netanyahu’s plans.”
While US special envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff “has a very clear mandate from Trump to resume the negotiations, it looks that Netanyahu is not working at the same pace”, Zaccara was quoted as saying.
The Israeli prime minister’s policy of recognising settlements in the occupied West Bank is also “beyond what Trump suggested about Gaza”, Zaccara added, but the misalignment between the US and Israel on these issues is unlikely to result in any action.
