@kernowdamo: The world watches Singapore's muted response to the Gaza crisis, especially when compared to their sharper focus on the West Bank. What’s the real agenda? This analysis dives deep into the foundational security and military ties with Israel that have shaped Singapore’s foreign policy for decades. When your army’s identity—from training doctrine to cyber support—is baked in with another nation’s help, criticizing them, especially after ICJ rulings, becomes nearly impossible. See why procedural restraint, not full outrage, is the chosen path for a nation whose defense structures were built with Israeli assistance. The political cost of angering an essential ally is apparently too high. \#SingaporePolitics \#GazaUpdate \#IsraelPalestine \#ForeignPolicy \#MilitaryTies
