Waters explained that his position took firm shape following a visit to the West Bank in 2008, saying what he witnessed during the visit "was horrifying" and marked a turning point in his understanding of the reality Palestinians live under.
Although he has never visited the Gaza Strip, Waters has, since his West Bank visit, become one of the most prominent Western artistic voices to regularly address the Palestinian cause.
Over the years, he has taken part in international initiatives, events, and campaigns supporting Palestinian rights, and has used his interviews and concerts to draw attention to the suffering of civilians.
Throughout his career, Waters has combined his artistic work with his political and humanitarian positions, making him a prominent figure in cultural and media discussions related to the Palestinian cause and other international issues.
His latest remarks come amid the ongoing war in Gaza, and growing movements within global cultural and artistic circles calling for the protection of civilians and an end to violations.
Waters affirmed that his support for Palestinians isn't a temporary response to political developments but is rooted in a firm conviction he formed roughly two decades ago and continues to hold to this day.
