Pro-Palestinian Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is legally obliged to stop the Israeli regime's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
"Starmer has a legal duty to stop the Gaza genocide," Thunberg said in an interview while onboard the Gaza-bound aid flotilla aiming to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave, published by the Guardian on Sunday.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, consisting of dozens of boats, is carrying humanitarian aid, including food, water, baby formula, medical supplies, and medicine, hoping to deliver this to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip in about a week's time.
Boats carrying participants from 44 countries are sailing to Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla to break the Israeli blockade and demand justice despite serious threats.
The Swedish activist said there was a “huge absence of those whose legal responsibility it is to step up” under international law, and called out the British Prime Minister before a potential meeting on Wednesday with the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog.
It is upon the British PM to take action, Thunberg told the Guardian. It's his “legal duty to act to prevent a genocide.”
In a warning message to Starmer, who has been urged by his own MPs not to meet with the Israeli regime's official, Thunberg said, “The words we will use to describe people who are standing on the wrong side of history, supporting or committing war crimes, those words do not exist yet, those slurs do not exist yet, but we will be using them towards people like .”
Politicians in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have called on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to impose “immediate” sanctions on Israel and end arms sales to the regime over its genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Thunberg pointed out that the people from around the globe are gaining awareness and “waking up” to what's really happening to the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Some people had not known before what was going on in Gaza, but “we no longer have the privilege to say that we weren’t aware because we are seeing this coming out of Gaza every single day of children being starved, parents looking for the missing body parts of their children under the rubble," she said.
“Anyone who has any sense of humanity and common sense can see that there is absolutely, absolutely no justification for any of this, no matter what absurdly fabricated arguments Israel is using to continue the ongoing genocidal war against the people in Gaza," she added
The Israeli military kills yet another journalist in the Gaza Strip, taking to 249 the number of those perished while trying to convey the truth about Tel Aviv’s genocide.
Thunberg, who in 2019 became the youngest Time Person of the Year and has been nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize for her climate activism, said, “I think it’s been very clear in the words and actions of people all over the world that there is worldwide support for this ."
