On board a humanitarian aid flotilla towards the Gaza Strip, Greta Thunberg activist made a direct appeal and a charge to UK Prime Minister Keir Stmerer. She stated that the prime minister has “legal duty to act to prevent a genocide.” In an exclusive interview with the British newspaper The Guardian, she criticized the “enormous absence” of world leaders who, she said, have the responsibility to intervene.
Thunberg has launched a severe warning, stating that the story will judge those who “are on the side of those who commit genocide.” “The words we will use to describe the people on the wrong side of the story … do not exist, these curses do not exist yet, but we will use them,” he warned. She believes that people around the world are “waking up” and refusing to “watch a live genocide.”
A spokesman stated that the British giverno has always supported a ceasefire. “From the first day, this government has made it clear that we need an immediate ceasefire, the liberation of all hostages cruelly detained by Hamas, better protection of civilians, significantly more helping consistently in Gaza and a path to peace and long-term stability,” the note said.
Flotilha’s mission, which aims to deliver supplies such as food and medicines, is risky. German activist Yasemin Acar, who accompanies Thunberg, described the journey as a “suicidal mission,” asking why humanitarian activists to a hungry population need to fear their lives.
Netanyahu prefers “damage to the image” by Vitória
In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the offensive in Gaza and said he is willing to assume “damage” to his country’s international image to reach “victory.” During a government meeting, he stated: “If I have to choose between the victory over our enemies and the bad propaganda against us, I prefer the victory over our enemies, not the other way around.”
Netanyahu recognized the “price we are paying in the diplomatic and propaganda scope,” but emphasized that the goal of the war is to “eliminate Hamas, return all hostages and ensure that Gaza does not represent a threat to Israel.” He classified the accusations of war crimes such as “hateful slander and grotesque lies” and stated that the offensive is a “fair” war against terrorism, that “Hamas forced us to fight.”
The prime minister also said that the Israeli army is ending “crucial terrorist leaders” in the city of Gaza, which he defined as the “last important stronghold” of Hamas. According to him, more than 100,000 Palestinians would have already left the city. The United Nations (UN) has confirmed that about 41,000 people, most of the city of Gaza, fled south of the Enclave in the last two weeks.
