Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the deaths of dozens of civilians in an airstrike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah a “tragic mistake” which has drawn strong international condemnation. This took place as Israel is under growing pressure as three more European countries announced their recognition of Palestine as a state and the International Court of Justice ordered the country’s military to halt its attack in Rafah. What does the increasing isolation mean to Israel? How likely is it that Israel will stop the offensive at Rafah? Will the international pressure help end the conflict?
