Great Game – Israel running out of friends, China growing friendships

Israel is running out of sympathy, China is swaying a major neighbouring country and the Chips War is evolving
2024-04-02

Welcome to this week’s Great Game, where we cover current geopolitical events relevant to your portfolio!


Israel-Hamas War takes toll on hospitals

Situation: Israeli troops have left the Shifa hospital in Gaza after reducing the site to rubbles. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes have hit the Al-Aqsa hospital as well as a ‘World Food Kitchen’ convoy, killing seven NGO workers. Finally, Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria, killing a couple of high-ranking Iranian military commanders. Thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in protests against the Netanyahu government.

Analysis: As mentioned last week, Israel is slowly chopping away at its’ support in the West. The recent events only add to the frustration and impatience with the Israeli war effort and now the domestic pressure is growing too. Netanyahu is insisting to dig out the last hostages by force, while Hamas simply holds on and waits for Israel to destroy its’ remaining sympathy in the West and elsewhere in the World. There is still a long way to go before the White House may get a new administration more friendly to Netanyahu – and even if Trump does win the presidency, his support for Israel seem to be waning as well. I’m increasingly pessimistic on behalf of the Israelis who are isolating themselves more and more with each hospital bombed and each civilian killed.
