Bob Geldof demands immediate end to Gaza suffering and says infants are being used as weapons of war

 

In an emotionally charged interview with Trevor Phillips on Sky News, musician and humanitarian Bob Geldof condemned the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, delivering sharp criticism of both the Israeli government and the broader international response. He accused Israeli authorities of "dangling food in front of starving, panicked, exhausted mothers," only for them to be "wantonly shot." Geldof described the actions of the Israeli government and the IDF as a “disgrace,” branding Prime Minister Netanyahu and the military leadership as “liars.”

He also criticised the UK government’s response saying it is inadequate and dismissed the focus on recognising a Palestinian state as a distraction from the immediate crisis. In his view, political gestures could wait, what matters now is ending the starvation and violence without delay.
