Growing pressure on Israel becoming ‘mainstream position’

Hassan Barari, a professor at Qatar University’s Department of International Affairs, says mounting international pressure over the killing of aid workers and calls for an end to arms shipments to Israel appear to be “genuine”. “I think it is genuine pressure, given what Israel has been doing, but at the same time, we have to remember that the international community has been complicit with all these Israeli massacres and genocide,” he told Al Jazeera. Barari added that the letter signed by former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and dozens of congressional Democrats urging a halt to weapons transfers to Israel represents a “change in the American scene”. “The whole Democratic party is moving to adopt this position, so it has become a mainstream position,” he said.
