Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has used the occasion of receiving an honorary degree from The University of Manchester to share his thoughts on the war in Gaza.
Speaking at the ceremony on Monday, the 54-year-old began his emotionally-charged speech by saying: “It’s so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts me all my body. And let me be clear, it’s not about ideology, it’s not about I’m right or you’re wrong.
"Come on. It’s just about the love of life. About the care of your neighbour.”
The manager, who has won six Premier League titles with City went on to tell the audience: “Maybe we think that we see the boys and girls of four years old being killed for the bomb, or being killed at the hospital because it’s not hospital anymore, it’s not our business.
