    Crisis is not the right word. It’s Palestinian Genocide, perpetuated by Israel, and supported by the Western world.

      Agreed but what has the Arab / Muslim world done to oppose this? Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan etc.

          Recently, this year. What have the Arab/Muslim governments and public done to protest what is happening. I am not advocating for war/violence but is it just business as usual with Israel and USA?

            War with Israel means war with America and Europe. There is no Arab nation that can win that fight.

              I am not suggesting war. I am asking if there are demonstrations, have the governments and public done anything to protest what is happening. Have they closed embassies or degraded the relationship in any way?

                The public in just about all Arab countries have been doing unprecedented amounts of protests. Particularly in Jordan. I do see where you are coming from though in comparison to prior conflicts the tactic support the majority of Arab leadership has given Israel more and more of over the years has boiled over and been shown to be nothing less than treason. Britain can go to war for Poland but Jordan can’t go to war for Gaza, the PA security forces can’t even go to war for Gaza. It is a treacherous state of affairs in that regard. On the flip side Lebanon has been involved since nearly the start of this conflict and the pressure they’ve put on thus far isn’t to be scoffed at, though more could be done its been established that would be US intervention. More importantly though just look at what the Yemenis are doing, and they show no sign of backing down, having just come out of their war with the KSA and UAE to boot. Though I will say even for the Saudi leadershipleadership etc. etc. They’re all being forced to cut normalization with Israel and their relations with the US have strained. They have to or else all these protests might just turn into revolutions. (Saudi hasnt had protests I’m referring to Arab countries allied to the US generally)
