Sounds like Europe and Canada have increasingly enough of Israel. While for now it's just a strongly worded letter and annulment/freeze of trade agreements (or their talks for one in case of the UK), they could tariff the shit out of Israel. And if that's not enough, a trade ban similar to the one for Russia would hurt Israel massively since Israel needs to import almost everything.

China will have to act beyond words and token diplomacy. Israel imports the most from China which is the least supportive of Israel of the top 3. USA and Germany will be the last to sanction Israel :/

Bolded: 3 weeks ago I would have agreed with you that Germany would be the last ones to sanction Israel. But it seems like the new government in Germany has significantly upped the tone towards Israel. Keep in mind the reneguing of the trade agreement between Europe and Israel had to be approved by Germany beforehand, and they wouldn't have done so under Scholz.
