The post shared has some quotes pulled by some pubic figures who have sway on geopolitics in terms of Israel’s current actions. Some of the quotes are a little dated on news standards, but I truly think that Israel’s attempts at land grabbing (all rationales behind it aside) will seriously impact their relationship with other countries even more than we are currently seeing. Of the people quoted, I have to agree most with Blinken’s dissenters.

Not substantively. Unless the world rolls out an expansive embargo scheme like what South Africa saw, I don’t see there ever being an actual real pressure on Israel to do anything.
The problem with a large embargo is that Israel, really is credibly threatened by other players in the region. So implementing an Embargo may compromise Israeli security and lead to it’s annihilation. It’s a catch-22.
