A visit of support for Israel

\n\nFaced with the intensification of violence between Israel and Hamas, the West is showing its support for the Jewish state. During his visit today, Olaf Scholz is on a mission to reaffirm Germany's close ties with Israel. This is the first visit by a senior German government official since the start of theoffensive against Hamas.\n\n

Joe Biden: An expected visit

\n\nTomorrow it's the turn of the American president Joe Biden to land in Tel Aviv. A highly anticipated visit whose primary objective will be to show the inalienable support of the United States for Israel. However, pressure is strong on the American president to encourage a de-escalation of tensions.\n\n

World reaction

\n\nWhile these visits by senior officials are underway, the international community's response to theoffensive against Hamas is mixed. Some call for an immediate end to hostilities and demand international intervention to protect civilians, while others support Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas attacks.\n\nWill the diplomatic efforts of Scholz and Biden in the coming days bring a de-escalation in the current violence? Only time will tell. In the meantime, the whole world has its eyes on Israel, waiting to see how these visits will unfold and what impact they will have in the search for a peaceful solution. \n\n
