Some 84 countries and nations have released statements supporting Israel, according to a list compiled by the Foreign Ministry.
Many of the countries, including the US, UK, Australia, France, Norway and Austria, have seen multiple political leaders issue statements condemning the attacks and backing Israel’s right to self-defense.
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has spoken with 17 foreign ministers, mostly from Europe, in the past 24 hours. He also held a briefing for foreign diplomats in Israel, and for Israeli diplomats abroad.
Israeli diplomats have conducted 180 interviews with foreign press since the war started, and have put up more than 580 posts in English, Spanish, Arabic, Farsi and Russian.
