Similarly, the post was captioned,
“SHARE if you stand with the people of Israel as they face one of the most frightening situations in many years.”

Gigi Hadid
The American supermodel, whose father is Palestinian, posted a lengthy statement expressing her sorrow and sympathy for the victims of the violence. She wrote,
“I have deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation, it’s a responsibility I hold daily, My thoughts are with all those affected by this unjustifiable tragedy and every day that innocent lives are taken by this conflict — too many of which are children.”
Hadid, who has been a longtime advocate for “Free Palestine”, added,
“The terrorizing of innocent people is not in alignment with & does not do any good for the ‘Free Palestine movement’. The idea that it does has fueled a painful, decades-long cycle of back & forth retaliation (which no innocent civilian, Palestinian or Israeli, deserves to be a casualty of), and helps perpetuate the false idea Pro-Palestine = antisemitic,”
However, her sister Bella, who has always been vocal about her support for Palestinian rights, has yet to comment on the ongoing deadly conflict between Israel and Palestine.
