International opinion of Israel deteriorates amid ongoing Gaza conflict - report

There's a shifting international view of Israel as its war on Gaza shows little sign of relenting. 

After global pressure, including from the US, Israel has relented on a months-long blockade and let in limited aid - but none's been distributed so far. 

It's also continued firing on Gaza, where more than 53,000 people have died to date. 

Sky News' Alistair Bunkall says there's a strong sense - even among Isarelis - that the country has taken this too far. 

"There is a political dynamic to it for Netanyahu's own political reasons - and they are opposed to it and the damage that it's doing on their nation's reputation internationally."
