I don’t know the exact politics behind why we have seen this particular configuration of European states aligning with the US on this, but for the various small global south countries that do it’s usually a case of them not being able to resist US pressure. It is an open secret that threats, blackmail and bribery are employed regularly by the US to get smaller states to go along with them at the UN. Very often you will see this especially in the case of tiny island nations in the Caribbean and the Pacific, where the price of buying a UN vote is very low for the US.
Why is the ‘Against’ side so random? Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Croatia, Guatemala, Paraguay, Papaua New Guinea, and Fiji.

I imagine the European countries listed are pledging unwavering support for Israel because of their involvement in WW2. The other ones I have no idea.
