Israel was told ‘you are not alone’ – but year of war has left it isolated
Joe Biden travelled to Jerusalem to embrace a country in shock and to mourn the killing of 1,200 people, vowing: “I come to Israel with a single message: You are not alone. You are not alone. As long as the United States stands – and we will stand for ever – we will not let you ever be alone.”
Olaf Scholz, the chancellor of Germany – a country that sees Israel’s survival as a national responsibility – also visited and delivered a similar promise of unconditional solidarity: “In difficult times, Germany has only one place and that is by Israel’s side.”
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, was equally unrestrained in his criticism of Hamas, saying: “The unspeakable has emerged from the depths of history.”
