An Israeli government spokesperson has responded to the Prince of Wales’ rare statement on the conflict in Gaza.
Prince William called for an end to the fighting in Gaza insisting “too many have been killed”.
“It’s critical the aid gets in and hostages are released,” he said in a statement.
Eylon Levy, an Israeli government spokesman, said: “Israelis of course want to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible, and that will be possible once the 134 hostages are released, and once the Hamas terror army threatening to repeat the October 7 atrocities is dismantled.
“We appreciate the Prince of Wales’ call for Hamas to free the hostages.
“We also recall with gratitude his statement from October 11 condemning Hamas’s terror attacks and reaffirming Israel’s right of self-defence against them.”
