Israel’s ties with Europe are fraying. Can its election change that?

Israel’s ties with Europe have deteriorated following its destruction of Gaza, which has killed at least 74,000 Palestinians. Several European countries have withdrawn from Eurovision over Israel’s participation, while footballers have refused to play the Israeli team. At the UN General Assembly, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin said Israel’s actions would “shame the world”, and Spain’s Pedro Sánchez condemned the genocide in Gaza. The United Kingdom has banned goods from illegal settlements, and settlers recently attacked European diplomats and officials from Belgium, France and Poland.
