Foreign Minister Eli Cohen told Israeli Army Radio that Israel's war aims are not just the total destruction of Hamas, but the country also aims to reduce the size of Gaza. The pronouncement is the most explicit indication yet that Israel will move to annex parts of Gaza, as some analysts have speculated.

Reminder that the only reason Israel is able to openly carry out ethnic cleansing in Gaza is due to US backing. US is directly responsible for every crime against humanity that Israel is currently engaging in.

EU as well, but yes, US are the most avid.

Sure, EU is largely a vassal of US at this point though EU policy just mirrors the US for the most part.
