Gigi Hadid Speaks Out Against Violence and Calls for Peace Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict
Supermodel Gigi Hadid recently issued a statement addressing the ongoing and deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas. Speaking up as a person with Palestinian heritage, Hadid condemned the terrorizing of innocent people and expressed her dreams for a free Palestine that do not come at the expense of Jewish people.
In her Instagram post, Hadid stressed that inflicting terror on innocent individuals goes against the principles of the Free Palestine movement and perpetuates the false perception that supporting Palestine means being anti-Semitic. She called for an end to the painful cycle of retaliation that has plagued the region for decades, emphasizing that both Palestinians and Israelis deserve to live without fear of violence.
Hadid acknowledged the complexity of the situation and recognized the diverse range of feelings surrounding the conflict. However, she asserted that every human being, regardless of nationality, religion, ethnicity, or place of birth, deserves basic rights and security.
While Gigi Hadid took a stand, her sister Bella Hadid has not yet commented on the escalating tensions in the region. Their father, American real-estate developer Mohamed Anwar Hadid, is a Palestinian immigrant.
This is not the first time celebrities have spoken out on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Figures such as Madonna, Natalie Portman, Mark Ruffalo, Amy Schumer, and Sarah Silverman have also shared their perspectives.
Natalie Portman expressed her deep concern and sorrow for the people of Israel, condemning the violence against children, women, and the elderly. Mark Ruffalo quoted author Nathan Thrall, expressing horror at the innocent lives lost and the people of Gaza who are being bombarded and besieged.
As the conflict continues to escalate, Gigi Hadid’s statement highlights the urgent need for peace and the importance of considering the rights and safety of all individuals involved. The global community continues to monitor the situation closely, with hopes for a resolution and an end to the devastating violence.
