Is European pressure on Israel likely to make a difference? | Inside Story

Israel is facing condemnation from some of its strongest allies over its increasing aggression in Gaza. The UK is cancelling new trade talks and the EU is reviewing old agreements, while both are imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers in the Occupied West Bank. The two powers say they cannot standby while Israel expands military operations, increases air strikes and starves Palestinians in Gaza with its total blockade. But critics are asking why they did not step in before. Will the new measures be imposed? And most importantly, will any of this change the reality on the ground for the Palestinians?
