Greta Thunberg says Keir Starmer has a "legal duty to stop the Gaza genocide"
Stockholm, September 7 (Hibya) – Greta Thunberg, traveling on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza, told the Guardian that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer must fulfill his "legal duty to act to prevent genocide."
The Swedish activist said there is a "serious lack of people with the legal responsibility to step forward under international law," and criticized the UK Prime Minister ahead of a possible meeting this week with Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
In a message to Starmer, who was urged by his own MPs on Wednesday not to meet with the Israeli head of state, Thunberg said: "There are not yet words to describe people who stand on the wrong side of history, who support or commit war crimes. These insults do not yet exist, but we will use them against people like Starmer."
She said that people around the world are realizing what is happening to the Palestinian people and "refuse to watch a genocide live on air."
Thunberg said: "We have seen civilians around the world take action, but the number of those with the legal duty to act is very small. These governments, these people in power have the legal duty to act to prevent genocide and not to support an apartheid regime."
