Map needs a "condemned violence from both Hamas and Israel" grouping
There needs to be a "condemned violence from both Hamas and Israel" distinct from just a "Neutral stance" (which could mean a number of things). Just as an example: Ireland (as noted in the article) has strongly condemned the killings by Hamas; they are now also condemning Israel for human rights violations. Sources here:
- Varadkar accuses Israeli government of breaching international law in Gaza siege - The Irish Times
- Ireland 'cannot accept' collective punishment of Gaza's population, Tánaiste warns - Irish Examiner
- Israel’s call for civilians to flee Gaza is ‘deeply dangerous’, Tánaiste says - The Irish Times
- 'Even wars have rules' – Tánaiste Micheál Martin urges Israel to act ‘within the parameters’ of humanitarian law - Irish Independent
XTheBedrockX (talk) 14:55, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- @XTheBedrockX possibly Ireland and others could be designated as "neutral"? Because condemning both Palestine (Hamas) and Israel means you are not taking any sides anymore. In effect becoming neutral. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:59, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- @JWilz12345 In a sense, yeah. I'm not opposed to Ireland et al. being considered "neutral".
- I think I just have an issue with the caption's wording of "Countries that maintained a neutral stance" vs. "Countries that have supported Israel or condemned Hamas" and "Countries that have supported Hamas or condemned Israel". To "maintain a neutral stance" in that context can imply that a country makes no specific comments on the actions of the parties involved; this doesn't really apply to Ireland, which has explicitly condemned actions from both Israel and Hamas. XTheBedrockX (talk) 03:14, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- Why not create two maps - one for reactions to the initial Hamas attack and one for the retaliatory Israel strikes?
- Frankly, I think the main article needs to be broken into two parts as well. 2601:40:C481:A940:D4FB:3B05:7C51:3B7F (talk) 08:34, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with the editor who added an original research template at the top of the page. They specifically asked whose judgment the categorizations for the map are based on, and I think that unless that is clearly specified this map shouldn't exist. Countries put out varying statements with varying nuances and they do not fit neatly and straightforwardly into the small number of categories offered. Yes, we can add more categories to try capture some of this, or break it into multiple maps to separate what they are reacting to, but in the end there will still be lots of grey areas and putting them into categories amounts to WP:OR or at least WP:SYNTH. If there is a vote on a UN resolution or something like that, then I think we'd have grounds to make a map like this, but as is there is a lot of subjectivity.
- To give one example, Bahrain is marked here as supporting Israel, presumably because they condemned Hamas' attack and we don't yet have a source on what they've said about Israel's actions, but (based on my judgment) it's very likely that they really belong in the "neutral" category and that this hasty categorization will have to be changed once there's more time for them to make diplomatic statements. It's also unclear what to put if a country condemns Israel's long-term policies in their statement on the conflict but doesn't explicitly condemn Israel's current actions. Gazelle55 Let's talk! 16:59, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Agree with the above: WP:OR. This topic, above all others, doesn't admit such nuance-free side-taking. There's a world of difference between "condemning the 7 Oct incursion" (which is all some of the quotes in the article are doing, presumably the sources used for the map) and "supporting Israel" -- particularly ten days later with all that's happened in the interim.
- And as one example from a country painted blue, see The Israeli Embassy in Mexico issued a strong condemnation of the administration... for not condemning the brutal and unprovoked acts against its people. Moscow Mule (talk) 18:14, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Map accuracy
Kaliningrad Oblast should be coloured in orange, like the rest of Russia. A3811 (talk) 12:55, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, Russia, China, and Turkey should all be switched to neutral because that´s the most accurate description of their stances (and they were previously marked as neutral). StrongALPHA (talk) 14:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- as is the case of Belarus. StrongALPHA (talk) 14:08, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Please don't keep reverting Turkey to orange in map
Turkey is neutral. Most people in opposition and news supported Palestine but the goverment always called for de-escalation and only condemned bombing the hospital, like most other European nations (and said the "responsibles" of hospital bombing, didn't specifically say Israel). Plus police forces stopped protests against Israel (used pepper spray for Pro-Palestine protests) and protected the Israeli Embassy also.
Please don't keep changing it unless there is a consensus or anything new occurs. It's neutral for now. Mavreju (talk) 11:43, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
Scope
This article's scope is currently about initial reaction to the attack by Hamas on Israel; and not on the war generally. Currently, it is highly misrepresenting the situation with this title. I would suggest either moving to "International reactions to 2023 Hamas attack on Israel", or expanding the scope of the article (which is already cluttered) to include reactions on the war generally. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- I second this. Mavreju (talk) 08:01, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
How do we define neutrality?
For example "Ireland" and "France" supported Israel many times but also said that they are with the victims of the hospital bombing etc.
When Turkey does that, it's labeled as "neutral" or even "pro-Palestine" but why do we act like EU is always pro-Israel even when countries have different views?
If a country have two distinct press releases then it should be neutral imho. Orange-Puppy-2221 (talk) 08:48, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Removing map
Thank you Asarlaí for removing the map. I believe the map definitely was WP:OR (original research). Given the many nuances that can't be captured by a simple colour scheme, I don't think it should exist at all, but if it is going to be added again, the editors who support it should first explain on the talk page how they will make it less subjective so that it doesn't constitute original research. I will copy part of my comment from above here so that there can be a dedicated talk page section for this topic if others disagree:

International reactions to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war → International reactions to the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel – The article focuses almost exclusively on the statements made at the very first days, i.e. when the Hamas attack unfolded, and not on the current war which is likely to extend to years. We either move this as discussed above, or we change the scope of this article to have a broader scope. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:50, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- I wholeheartedly agree.
- When a country says something to condemn Israel today, they suddenly get switched to Orange or Gray.
- Some countries though stay Blue. There is no consensus about it, it seems.
- This one should be moved and a new article to get "current" views can be opened. Mavreju (talk) 14:38, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. The initial statements are about the Hamas terrorist attack, which are set; Operation Iron Swords is an on-going war. I don't where that chronological line should be drawn... Or the ideological line, for that matter. Right to defense? Israel shouldn't exist? "Both sides"? No condemnation of Hamas? (The U.S. was very upset at the PRC for this). Root causes? Are no statements whatsoever de facto neutral or N/A? Who sends aid to whom? Etc. Heck, just parsing Africa alone would give any editor a headache: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/pro-israel-against-palestine-neutral-hamas-war-splits-africa/ar-AA1i5tDa kencf0618 (talk) 15:00, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- Strong oppose, the answer to that is expanding it to cover the reactions since then. nableezy - 15:33, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose because while it initially started as a Hamas attack, it has became a war ever since. --217.180.201.161 (talk) 19:28, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose: The article on the conflict itself is under the name 2023 Israel–Hamas war. This is a related sub-article and must use the same name for the conflict. If you think that "Israel–Hamas war" is wrong then propose to move that article, but be aware that two previous move discussions have failed. Cambalachero (talk) 14:15, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Kazakhstan condemns Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians and hostage-taking" and calls on Israel to "refrain from the disproportionate use of force leading to numerous civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and the destruction of civilian infrastructure," calling for the protection of civilians, respect for international law, and access to humanitarian aid.

Instance of conflicting phrasing in Evacuations of foreign nationals section
In the section on evacuations of foreign nationals there is a line:
On 12 October, the United Kingdom arranged flights for its citizens in Israel; the first plane departed Ben-Gurion Airport that day. The government had said before that it would not be evacuating its nationals due to available commercial flights. However, the flights were commercial.
This phrasing seems confusing, and perhaps it is too concise. The BBC article it cites [1] says:
The UK government said earlier this week it would not arrange evacuation flights because commercial routes were still available. But British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Air France, Lufthansa and Emirates have all suspended flights in recent days. ... The government-arranged flights will be chartered by the Foreign Office but are commercial services. Each passenger will be charged £300.
I suggest that the following replace this line:
On 12 October, the United Kingdom arranged flights for its citizens in Israel; the first plane departed Ben-Gurion Airport that day. The government had previously said that because commercial flights out of Israel were still available, it would not arrange evacuation flights for its nationals. However, once most commercial airlines began suspending flights out of the country, the British Foreign Office arranged chartered flights using commercial services.

Under international reactions, South Africa, the last line states that the ICJ ordered that Israel stop its offensive completely. However, that is incomplete and incorrect. The ICJ, in May 2024, ruled 13-2 that Israel must cease any operation which may cause destruction to Palestinian life, in part or in full. The subtle difference may be subtle, but it's a difference nonetheless.
