Pep Guardiola, the former coach of Manchester City, has again voiced strong criticism against Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. In a new video supporting UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Guardiola condemned Israel's military operations and its restrictions on humanitarian aid. He urged the international community to continue supporting Palestinians and to contribute to UNRWA.
In the video, Guardiola focused on the human cost of the war, particularly the impact on children. "These are not deaths, these are human beings murdered. These are not numbers, these are lives that had a name, a face, a family, dreams, and memories," he stated. He emphasized that the suffering of Palestinian civilians, especially children, should not be dismissed as collateral damage and that their lives and suffering should be valued equally to others.
Guardiola directly accused Israel, stating, "The Israeli government has killed more than 34,000 people in Gaza and continues to obstruct the entry of humanitarian aid." He called for continued attention to the situation in Gaza, stressing that international support and responsibility for Palestinians cannot cease. He also encouraged the public to donate to UNRWA to enable the organization to continue delivering aid.
"Silence today is a way of choosing sides. But we cannot look away. We are living in a very dark time in our history," Guardiola said, adding, "Palestine is important, and Palestine needs justice and peace." This is not the first time Guardiola has spoken out against Israel's policies during the current conflict. Previously, he appeared at a charity event wearing a keffiyeh and has expressed deep pain over the images from Gaza.
