Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights the complicity of Western leaders, portraying them as “useful idiots” for supporting Netanyahu’s genocidal conflict in Gaza.

He emphasises that despite being five months too late, Western criticism of the Israeli incursion in Gaza is now gaining momentum.

Bishara suggests that as Israel weaponises hunger and persists in its massacres, the international community must reassess its stance and take decisive action.
