What if the world took action to end Israel's war on Gaza next week?

"Experts tell Al Jazeera what could happen if countries decided to unite against Israel's genocide. People have been asking What if forever. Over the next few months, Al Jazeera will explore some of the biggest challenges of our time and ask leading experts: What if United States President Donald Trump has given the Palestinian group Hamas a deadline of Sunday to agree to a deal that he says would end Israel's war on Gaza,"

"If it fails, many expect Israel to continue with a military campaign that has decimated Gaza, killing more than 66,000 Palestinians. That's despite global condemnation of Israel. In mid-September, a United Nations commission echoed the conclusions of rights groups in Israel and abroad that Israel's war was genocidal. Soon after, the European Union proposed suspending Israel's trade concessions with the bloc."

"Several of Israel's traditional allies including France, the United Kingdom and Canada also recognised Palestine as a state in September, following others, including Norway, Spain and Ireland, that recognised Palestine last year. Individual lawmakers have also condemned Israel. Last month, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for Israel to be expelled from global sporting bodies until the barbarity ends. In May, Slovenia's president, Natasa Pirc Musar, used the word genocide to describe Israel's actions."

United States President Donald Trump issued a deadline for Hamas to accept a deal that would end Israel's war on Gaza while allowing Israel to remain in parts of Gaza short-term. Critics doubt such a deal will stop Israel, citing continued attacks on Lebanon and West Bank raids. Failure could lead to continued Israeli military campaigns that have decimated Gaza and killed over 66,000 Palestinians. UN and rights bodies described the war as genocidal and a UN-backed body found a man-made famine. Several European countries recognised Palestine and proposed punitive measures including trade suspension and sporting expulsions.
