Sir Keir Starmer refuses to say whether 'genocide' is taking place in Gaza following UN warning

  • Sir Keir Starmer refused to confirm whether genocide is occurring in Gaza following a UN warning amid a 10-week Israeli blockade as of May 2025.
  • This core event follows a prolonged Israeli blockade of Gaza and escalating airstrikes after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that killed 1,200 people and took 250 hostages.
  • Israeli airstrikes recently killed over 100 people including children, with aid blocked to Gaza, prompting calls from UK politicians and UN officials to end the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid.
  • Tom Fletcher urged world leaders to "act now" to "prevent genocide," while Starmer described the situation in Gaza as "unacceptable" amid reports of starvation facing a million people.
  • The current stalemate and limited aid deliveries suggest ongoing humanitarian risks in Gaza and increased political pressure on governments to address the crisis without clear consensus on use of the term genocide.
