The Spin

Pro-Palestine narrative

Though it is a positive step that Western countries are beginning to limit arms exports to Israel, it is not nearly enough. Israel is engaged in a genocidal campaign in Gaza, and more measures must be put in place to dissuade such rogue behavior. Nonetheless, such actions by Western nations demonstrate Israel's increasing isolation on the world stage in the wake of its crimes in Gaza.

Middle East Eye

Pro-Israel narrative

It is certainly both unsettling and unfortunate that some countries have decided to pressure Israel as opposed to its terrorist enemies. However, Israel is more than able to continue fighting with limited support. Indeed, Israel is already working toward the continued development of its domestic arms industry and is well-equipped to deal with Hamas and Hezbollah's terror tactics. Ultimately, reports of limiting arms exports to Israel are overblown.
