       “Faced with a deepening #humanitarian crisis in #Gaza & mounting public pressure, western governments were compelled to act.

Yet their response has also demonstrated that…protracted public campaigns…can indeed force governments to change course.” | Middle East Eye https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/Israel-meltdown-western-recognition-palestinian-statehood-deepest-fears
