A number of high-profile former allies have threatened action against Israel after it launched an "unprecedented" offensive in Gaza, amid warnings of looming famine.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "minimal" humanitarian aid would be allowed to enter the Palestinian territory for the first time since Israel imposed a blockade on March 2.
The announcement, coupled with a steep escalation in military activity over the weekend, has provoked anger in the international community, with several nations taking actions against Israel in a bid to pressure Mr Netanyahu to lift the blockade completely.
Those include the European Union, UK, Canada, and France.
Meanwhile, Australia has joined 22 other countries in criticising Israel's proposed aid model and called for a full and immediate resumption of humanitarian supplies into Gaza.
Here's a look at some of the international reactions from the last day.
Europe
The European Union's (EU) foreign affairs chief, Kaja Kallas, said on Tuesday that the EU would review its trade agreement with Israel in light of the "catastrophic" situation in Gaza.
That decision was reached at a meeting of foreign ministers from the EU's 27 member states, 17 of which backed the move. It was proposed by the Netherlands' foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp earlier in May.
"The countries see that the situation is untenable … and what we want is to unblock the humanitarian aid," Ms Kallas said.
The EU is Israel's biggest trading partner, with two-way trade between them valuing €42.6 billion ($74 billion) last year. The basis for their trading relationship is the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The nine bloc members who voted against reviewing the agreement were Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Lithuania, while Latvia was "neutral", sources told Euronews.
United Kingdom
Britain followed suit in suspending trade talks with Israel.
In addition to halting negotiations on a new free trade agreement, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the UK would impose sanctions on Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, as well as summon the Israeli ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely.
"We are now entering a dark new phase in this conflict. Netanyahu's government is planning to drive Gazans from their homes into a corner of the strip to the south and permit them a fraction of the aid that they need," Mr Lammy told parliament on Tuesday.
He said Israel's expanded offensive in Gaza over the weekend was "morally unjustifiable, it's wholly disproportionate, it's utterly, utterly counterproductive — whatever Israeli ministers claim, this is not the way to bring the hostages safely home".
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also addressed the House of Commons on Tuesday, saying "the recent announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is totally and utterly inadequate".
"So we must coordinate our response, because this war has gone on for far too long. We cannot allow the people of Gaza to starve."
UK-France-Canada
Ahead of Sir Keir's calls for a coordinated response, the UK issued a joint statement with France and Canada calling Israel's resumption of aid "wholly inadequate", and threatened "concrete actions" against Israel for its activities in the Palestinian territories.
"The Israeli government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching international humanitarian law," a statement published by Downing Street on Monday read.
"We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank … We will not hesitate to take further action, including targeted sanctions."
Canada has already imposed a series of sanctions against Israel during the past two years regarding settler violence in the West Bank.
It is unclear how much France can act unilaterally given it is an EU member.
On Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told France Inter radio that Israel needed to ensure massive, immediate aid without any hindrance.
"It is totally insufficient … immediate and massive aid is needed."
United States
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a congressional committee on Tuesday that Washington would not follow its European allies in imposing sanctions or taking other diplomatic actions against Israel
"We're not prepared to respond the way these countries have," but the US has engaged with Israel in the last few days about "the need to resume humanitarian aid," Mr Rubio said.
"We anticipate that those flows will increase over the next few days and weeks — it's important that that be achieved."
US President Donald Trump, who skipped Israel during his whirlwind tour of the Middle East last week, has voiced growing concern about the hunger crisis in Gaza, and a White House official said on Tuesday that Mr Trump was upset by images of suffering children and babies emerging from the now 19-month-long war.
"The president is frustrated about what is happening in Gaza. He wants the war to end, he wants the hostages to come home, he wants aid to go in and he wants to start rebuilding Gaza," the White House official told news publication Axios.
However, the US remains a staunch ally of Israel and the Trump administration has voiced full support for Israel's actions, while blaming deaths in Gaza on militant group Hamas.
Australia
Australia has joined calls from more than 20 nations for aid to begin flowing in Gaza, but the Albanese government has not gone as far as making comments similar to Sir Keir, or the French and Canadian leaders.
"Whilst we acknowledge indications of a limited restart of aid, Israel blocked humanitarian aid entering Gaza for over two months. Food, medicines and essential supplies are exhausted. The population faces starvation. Gaza's people must receive the aid they desperately need," a statement co-signed by Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong said.
"As humanitarian donors, we have two straightforward messages for the government of Israel: Allow a full resumption of aid into Gaza immediately and enable the UN and humanitarian organisations to work independently and impartially to save lives, reduce suffering and maintain dignity. We remain committed to meeting the acute needs we see in Gaza."
Senator Wong's statement is jointly signed by the foreign ministers of Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK, as well as EU representatives.
"We have consistently opposed the expansion of military operations by Israel in Gaza, just as we have been clear that forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza would breach international law," Ms Wong told the ABC.
"The statement released by Australia and 23 other countries calls on Israel to enable the UN and humanitarian organisations to do their work unimpeded and save lives in Gaza.
"Australia continues to work with our partners to press for a ceasefire, the return of hostages, and the protection of civilians," she said.
Australia has maintained that Israel has the right to defend itself, but the way it does so matters. It supports a two-state solution and is a humanitarian donor to Palestine, providing an estimated $32.3 million in assistance in 2024-25.
Last year, Australia voted in favour of a UN resolution demanding Israel end its occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories "as rapidly as possible".
How has Israel responded?
Responding to the EU's move to review the Association Agreement, Israeli Foreign Minister Oren Marmorstein said "we completely reject the direction taken", and the move reflected a "total misunderstanding of the complex reality Israel is facing".
To the UK, Mr Marmorstein said "external pressure will not divert Israel from its path in defending its existence and security".
He also said that Israel-Britain trade talks were "not being advanced at all" even before Britain's move to suspend those negotiations on Tuesday.
[tweet]"If, due to anti-Israel obsession and domestic political considerations, the British government is willing to harm the British economy — that is its own prerogative," Mr Marmorstein said.
In relation to the UK-Canada-France statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it offered a "huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7".
"Israel accepts President Trump's vision and urges all European leaders to do the same," he wrote on X.
Mr Netanyahu's comments came after he declared on Monday that Israel would "take control of all the territory of the Gaza Strip" under its new military campaign.
Israel's retaliatory offensive against Hamas since October 7, 2023, has killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry, and displaced about 90 per cent of its population.
Nearly half a million Palestinians are facing possible starvation and 1 million others can barely get enough food, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a leading international authority on the severity of hunger crises.
