PANEL: Regional & international perspectives
The Nation-State Law was condemned internationally, with the European Union (EU) claiming it would further prevent any possibility of the two-state solution becoming reality. In retaliation, Israel has shunned the EU, labelling it hypocritical, hostile and accusing it of interference in Israeli affairs. This cooling of EU-Israel relations has coincided with a decline in Jewish-American support for Israel, as left-wing advocacy groups and young Jewish-Americans have become disillusioned with and increasingly critical of Israel.
