Prince William of the United Kingdom is urging an end to the war in Gaza, citing the “sheer scale of human suffering.”
The Prince of Wales made the statement on Tuesday via social media, at odds with the Royal Family’s general aversion to wading into current events.
“I remain deeply concerned about the terrible human cost of the conflict in the Middle East since the Hamas terrorist attack on 7 October,” Prince William wrote in a monogrammed message shared on X. “Too many have been killed.”

“Even in the darkest hour, we must not succumb to the counsel of despair,” the prince’s message concludes. “I continue to cling to the hope that a brighter future can be found and I refuse to give up on that.”
