France and Italy have joined Spain in resisting certain U.S.-Israeli military operations, as President Donald Trump criticized European NATO allies for being unhelpful in the month-long war. This resistance highlights growing divisions within the military bloc.
European allies are continuing to push back against involvement in the conflict, despite President Trump’s expressed frustration and threats regarding NATO.
The increasing resistance from NATO allies risks a deeper rupture in the already strained relationship between the U.S. and its European partners. Earlier this month, Trump reportedly labeled longtime allies as “cowards” due to their lack of support.
