Who supports Israel in the current conflict, and who does not?
The US, the European Union and other Western countries have all condemned the Hamas attacks on Israel.
The US, Israel's closest ally, has over the years given the Jewish state more than $260bn in military and economic aid, and is promising additional equipment and ammunition.
It also said it was sending an aircraft carrier, other ships and jets to the eastern Mediterranean.
Russia and China have both refused to condemn Hamas, and say they are maintaining contact with both sides in the conflict.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed US policy for the absence of peace in the Middle East.
Regional power Iran, meanwhile, is a key supporter of Hamas, as well as that of another regional enemy of Israel, the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.
Questions have been asked about its role in the recent attacks after reports that it gave the go-ahead for them days before.
Fun to see Iran distancing themselves from their terrorist allies. They must have seen that the US and allies are wanting to take away the 6 billion dollars they had recently unfrozen for the Islamic Republic.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
The U.S. is in no position to "take away the $6 billion dollars." The money was in exchange for the 5 hostages held by Iran.
If the U.S. were to renegade on the deal, no one would ever deal with this administration. Think of the U.S. hostages being held by Hamas.
