Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid has penned her name down in an open letter to US President Biden, calling for an end to Israel\u2019s war on Gaza. Hadid shared an Instagram carousel with the letter\u2019s contents and names of other signees from various creative fields.<\/p>\n

Expressing her concerns about the humanitarian crisis affecting Palestinians, Hadid said in the post\u2019s caption, \u201cThis is the most intense bombardment in the history of Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUS White House National Security Council dangerously says Israel ‘owes no-one any justification’ and that it will have ‘no red lines\u2019. Innocent lives should always be justified in the name of humanity,\u201d she further added.<\/p>\n

The letter was written in a joint initiative with Oxfam America to represent a collective of artists encompassing musicians, actors, and other creatives who stand against Israel\u2019s unrelenting military assault on Palestinians.<\/p>\n

Among the notable figures endorsing the letter are Dua Lipa, Andrew Garfield, Macklemore, Diplo, Caroline Polachek, and Ben Affleck, unambiguously declaring that \u201call life is sacred\u201d and \u201cthe killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians\u201d is condemnable regardless of \u201cfaith or ethnicity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hadid reminded her followers about Israel\u2019s complete telecommunications and electricity blackout in Gaza and the critical implications of the move. \u201cInjured civilians currently can\u2019t call ambulances. Medics are begging reporters to let them know where bombardments are happening, but reporters don\u2019t know either because of the internet outage,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

The model ended her short note, emphasising the urgent need for intervention, saying, \u201cThe people of Gaza have nowhere to go. Children are dying. Please.\u201d This post from Hadid comes shortly after she finally released her comments on the Israel-Palestine war since October 7 Hamas attack.<\/p>\n

While her sister and fellow supermodel, Gigi Hadid, promptly acknowledged the latest wave of brutality unfolding in the region, both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli audiences had been awaiting the celebrity\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram, Hadid posted a TikTok montage video showing the devastation in Gaza and the West Bank, followed by a long note where she apologised for her \u201csilence\u201d and condemned Israel’s longstanding occupation of Palestinian lands.<\/p>\n
