What The Top 10 Most Influential Leaders Said On Gaza Catastrophe

Since the Israel – Palestine war has started, there was cleft among the world leaders. While some succoured Israel’s “right to defend”, some of them voiced out the cause of Palestinians. As the war has reached its 40th day, here is where some of the most influential leaders stand on Gaza Catastrophe.

Ten days into the war, on October 17th, Ukraine’s First Lady connected with Michal Herzog, First lady and wife of Isaac Herzog, President of Israel, and expressed her “sincere condolences to the First Lady…for the pain of her country”. From there on the Ukrainian First Lady did not commented on the war.

Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, President of Brazil has always “defended” a “viable Palestinian state”. On October 7th, the Brazilian President took to his X platform and denounced the “terrorist attack carried out today against civilians in Israel”. He also added that the solution to the conflict is the “existence of an economically viable Palestinian State, co-existing peacefully with Israel within safe borders for both sides”.

 

In one of his latest posts about the catastrophe in Gaza, Mr. Lula said that he had witnessed many brutality within the 78 years of his life, “but I have never seen such inhumane violence against innocent people” and demanded “humanist behavior from other President, for ceasefire”.

 

He also said that, “I do not think Israel’s response to the Hamas terrorist attack is correct. The attack on innocent children and women resembles terrorism…the war needs to end. We want the creation of the Palestinian state. The two-state solution that Brazil has always defended”.

 

Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader has issued a statement on October 7th against the “violent, unprovoked and despicable terrorist attack by Hamas against the State of Israel”. He has been a constant supported of “Israel’s right to defend herself”.

She made sure that US Treasury “is taking swift and decisive action to target Hamas financiers and facilitators following its brutal and unconscionable terrorist attacks against Israel”.

 

Sherry Rehman, Pakistan Senator has been vocal about the brutal genocide in Gaza. She said the “culmination of the settler-colonialist project is leaving a dark open wound on the very fabric of humanity as it makes an awful tearing sound. Red in tooth and claw”. Her social media pages are filled with her concerns and criticism against the world leaders and humanity in whole as the catastrophe in Gaza reaches beyond the realm of imagination.

 

Mitch McConnell, Monitory Leader of US Senate is a strong supporter of Israel as he advocates for the “Israel’s right to defend”. He is strongly against the ceasefire. He said that the “October 7th attack has shattered an existing ceasefire. Calls to return to this arrangement are calls to give amnesty to terrorism”. He also added that those “American politicians who can’t acknowledge it should be ashamed”.

 

Antony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia, made it clear that while the “Israel does have a right to defend itself”, but the way Israel defend itself “matters” and the loss of life in Gaza and Israel matters. He said that “Hamas has contempt for international law, they are a terrorist organization. But Israel as a democratic nation, has a responsibility to uphold international law and protect innocent lives and to protect civilians including children”.
