Thanks Will but if we need you to say anything we'll pop over, take the silver spoon out of your mouth, and tell you exactly what to say and how to fucking say it you useless tax parasite.

The government may have asked him to say this.
Yes, the US have famously been influenced by the opinions of British royalty. They started a war over it, after all!
Define "possible". Now get several thousand Israelis and a few hundred Palestinians to agree on what's possible. Even within those groups, never mind between them.
This conflict has been raging since I was a child back in 1959. It has never ended, and it never will end until nuclear war wipes every human off the face of the earth. Given that the only things humans are good at are fucking and going to war, it will be a good riddance to bad rubbish.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Too many have been killed,” the heir to the British throne said in a major intervention on Tuesday which pushes at the traditional diplomatic boundaries of his royal role, ahead of visits about humanitarian support in Gaza and a global rise in antisemitism.
The Prince’s rare political intervention goes even further than the significant royal statement issued by William and the Princess of Wales in October, to “utterly condemn” Hamas’s attack and express their “profound distress” at the “devastating” eruption of violence.
William is set to meet with aid workers helping to provide humanitarian support in the region, hearing about the experiences of those on the ground, and will separately join a synagogue discussion with young people from different communities who are advocates against hatred and antisemitism.
Championing inter-faith bonds and religious tolerance has been a priority for King Charles, who has stepped back from public-facing duties while he receives treatment for cancer, with which the monarch was diagnosed earlier this month.
Having already displaced more than 1.9 million people across Gaza, Israel’s Western allies are urging Benjamin Netanyahu not to press ahead with a threatened ground invasion of Rafah, a rare remaining place of relative albeit treacherous shelter close to the border with Egypt.
The intervention by Prince William comes as Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party shifts its stance on the war to call for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza, warning on Tuesday: “We need the fighting to stop now.”
