As reported in Ha'aretz the world's diplomatic corps is beginning to turn on Israel after over two weeks of attacking Gaza. Today, President Evo Morales announced that Bolivia is breaking relations
with Israel and he wants the International Criminal Court to bring genocide charges against top
Israeli officials.
Also today, the EU said that the ongoing negotiations with Israel to boost their political and trade ties will be put on a "time out." Although the EU insists this is not a sanction due to the war in Gaza, Ramiro Cibrian-Uzal, the EU envoy to Israel, did say:
"In a war situation, in a situation in which Israel is at war, using
its war means in a very dramatic way, in a powerful way in Gaza,
everybody realises that it is not the appropriate time to upgrade
bilateral relations which normally take place in a more … peaceful
context."

Cibrian-Uzal declined to say how long the "time out" will last.
