UK and France's recent announcements cannot be taken at face value - they are purely performative (they are contingent on the Israeli genocide of Palestinians continuing!), seemingly desined to distance themselves just enough from the images of overt, forced starvation, while also doing nothing to stop it. Arms are still being sold to Israel. Training is still being provided to the IDF. Protestors are still arrested on behalf of Israel.
