In Argentina, this Friday thousands of people demonstrated in front of the National Congress. It was a very broad call, where the Nobel Peace Prize winner was present – among social organizations and many recognized personalities: Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Nora Cortiñas: Mother of Plaza de Mayo – founding line – and leaders of the Left Front such as the national deputies Myriam Bregman, Nicolás del Caño, Alejandro Vilca and the elected deputy Christian Castillo, among many others.
These international displays of solidarity not only undermine the position of the State of Israel in the world, but also begin to create internal discontent. Before the start of the current Israeli offensive, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was going through a strong crisis with massive mobilizations against his attempts at judicial reform that gave extraordinary power to the Executive and, in this case, to the government coalition that he maintains with untraorthodox and far-right, which sought to advance full colonization of the West Bank while keeping Gaza suffocated.
