Israel Isolation
Eight countries have recalled their ambassadors from Israel. These countries include Chad, Colombia, Honduras, Turkey, Bahrain, Jordan, Chile, and South Africa. Additionally, Bolivia has severed all diplomatic relations with Israel in protest of Israel's Gaza bombardment and the high number of civilian deaths, estimated by the Gaza Health Ministry at more than 10,000 innocent lives. Israel contends that the ministry's numbers cannot be independently verified and accuses it of being controlled by Hamas. However, numerous videos, TikTok posts, and other social media contents tells a different story as it shows civilians being targeted, as well as the destruction of schools and hospitals that are meant to be safe zones for civilians.
