Too many deaths in GazaIt's time to say enough about the ongoing war in the Middle East: decisively Prince William. Somewhat surprisingly compared to the traditional political restraint of the British royal family, the heir to the throne took a position on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in a note and called for “an early end to the fighting in Gaza.” : “I am deeply concerned about the terrible cost in human life, too many people have been killed.”
Prince William has stressed the need increase humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, but also to Release of the hostages: “Sometimes it is only when we see the scale of human suffering that we understand the importance of lasting peace. Even in the darkest hour, we must not give in to the advice of despair.” The Prince of Wales's intervention is the clearest one made by a member of the royal family since Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7 and could leave its mark on the country's communications Kensington Palace.
As Sky News confirmed, Prince William will meet several British charities providing humanitarian aid in the Middle East in the coming days and be briefed on conditions on the ground. He will also attend a meeting with representatives of all communities at a synagogue to address the increase in cases of anti-Semitism in the country. We recall that the heir to the throne already commented on the crisis in October, emphasizing the “deep unease” about the events in Israel: “The horrors caused by the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel are appalling and must be absolutely condemned. In June 2018, Prince William became the first member of the royal family to visit the Jewish state and the Palestinian territories and expressed his desire for “lasting peace” in the region.
Prince William's words come at a particularly sensitive time in the Middle East. The Government British led by Rishi Sunak has been campaigning for de-escalation in the Middle East and for humanitarian aid in Gaza since October 7th. There have been tensions between London and Tel Aviv in recent days. The executive director said he was “very concerned” about the situation of Palestinian civilians in Rafah. “It is impossible to imagine how a war can be waged between people,” says the Foreign Minister angrily James Cameronwhich again called on Israel to “stop and think very seriously before any further military action: we want an immediate cessation of fighting, leading to a permanent ceasefire without a resumption of hostilities.” Further updates will follow shortly.
