Prince William Calls for End to Gaza Conflict Due to High Casualties
Although it’s uncommon for members of the royal family to make political statements, the 41-year-old heir to the throne is set to engage in various activities on Tuesday to acknowledge the human suffering caused by the conflict in the Middle East.
“I remain deeply concerned about the terrible human cost of the conflict in the Middle East since the Hamas terrorist attack on 7 October. Too many have been killed,”
William said.
“I, like so many others, want to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible. There is a desperate need for increased humanitarian support to Gaza. It’s critical that aid gets in and the hostages are released.”
In addition to calling for an end to the fighting, Prince William’s office has mentioned his intention to highlight the increasing global issue of antisemitism.

Prince Charles, who made an official visit to Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories in 2018, is scheduled to attend a synagogue next week. There, he will listen to young people actively involved in combating hatred and antisemitism as part of his engagement schedule.
The conflict in Gaza began in October last year when Hamas fighters entered southern Israel, resulting in the death of 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and the seizure of 253 hostages. King Charles, William’s father, referred to these actions as “barbaric acts of terrorism.”
Since then, the Israeli military response has led to the loss of over 29,000 Palestinian lives, as reported by Palestinian health authorities.
