They Preach Peace, Profit From Blood: How 28 Nations Condemn Israel’s War But Keep Its Billions Flowing | World News

Cairo (Egypt): They collected signatures and prepared words. Foreign ministers from 28 countries stopped in a statement that called for Israel’s war in Gaza. The ink was dried. The bombs didn’t stop.

Approximately 60,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began. This is the official fee. More than 144,000 injured. Many children. A siege has now become a hunger documented by death. Despite global anger, the war continues.

And while governments call for fire and humanitarian pauses, a darker fact of trade under the headings.

The same nations, who signed letters and statements, who receive a podium in the UN and talk about peace, are shook hands with Israel in the market.

Billions of imports and exports from Europe to Asia and beyond flow back and forth. According to global trade data, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom trade only in 2023 with Israel more than a billion dollars. Cars, microchips, vaccines and perfumes. The shipments did not stop.

Ireland, which recognizes Palestine this year, continues to receive integrated circuits from Israel. This is almost the whole of Ireland’s imports from Tel Aviv. Italy, the highest exporter among the signatures, sold $ 3.49 billion to Israel last year. It contained over $ 100 million cars.

So what happened to stand with Palestine?

Ireland and Spain took brave diplomatic steps. Both countries recognized the Palestinian state in 2024. Norway and Slovenia followed the case. France said that the UN General Assembly would join them in September, when it met. Seven countries, including Cyprus and Poland, recognized Palestine decades ago, some at an early date like 1988.

However, as of July 2025, none of them were frozen with Israel. None of them brought economic sanctions. None of them took steps beyond symbolic statements.

They condemn Israel’s attack, but they still fuel their economy.

These are 28 signed – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, United Kingdom, United Kingdom.

They all continue to participate in trade relations with Israel. None of them were elected.

Even once loyal to Israel, even the voices begin to speak. Hillary Clinton, once a compelling supporter, expressed his concerns about human disaster.

France, Germany and the United Kingdom recently organized an emergency call. They asked for a ceasefire instantly. They called to “unconditional release of all hostages”. Warned about famine. However, they did not call for sanctions. They didn’t stop their work.

So the war passes. With the statements made in the capitals and silently signed agreements.
