Davey: What is happening in Gaza is a genocide and Trump is doing nothing to stop it

16 Sep 2025

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Commenting on the eve of Trump's state visit, and following the UN's independent commission of inquiry finding that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said:

"What is happening in Gaza is a genocide. And the President of the United States who wants a Nobel Peace Prize is doing nothing to stop it.

“We have long said that Hamas is genocidal and condemned them for their actions. Now I think we have to say that what the Netanyahu Government is doing amounts to genocide.

"The Prime Minister must use this state visit to press Donald Trump to finally take action to end the assault on Gaza City, stop the aid blockade and secure the release of the hostages still held by Hamas.”
