As the war in Gaza enters its six month – and more than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed – FRANCE 24 spoke to the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu "wants to have a perpetual war", Zomlot told FRANCE 24. The ambassador cited Netanyahu's "personal reasons" and also "strategic interests of his government and the Israeli establishment to finish off a job that started 76 years ago, which is the ethnic cleansing of Palestine".
"That's why Israel [is] doing what it did in the last six months [in Gaza]", the Palestinian ambassador to the UK said, while denouncing "Western complicity and [the] greenlighting" of Israel's deadly offensive.
