Prince William of the United Kingdom is urging an end to the war in Gaza, citing the "sheer scale of human suffering."

The Prince of Wales made the statement on Tuesday via social media, at odds with the Royal Family's general aversion to wading into current events.

"I remain deeply concerned about the terrible human cost of the conflict in the Middle East since the Hamas terrorist attack on 7 October," Prince William wrote in a monogrammed message shared on X. "Too many have been killed."

The statement does not call for a specific outcome but highlights the royal's concern about ongoing issues and rendering aid to the region that has been torn apart by a war that began with the Oct. 7 terror attacks last year.
