Several A-list celebrities, 76 in total, signed a letter in which they asked for a ceasefire in Gaza, urging US President Joe Biden to put an end to the tragic events.
“We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay — an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages,” said the letter.
“We refuse to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing. As [United Nations] Emergency Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told UN News, ‘History is watching’,” said the stars, who took a leap of faith in face of what’s happening in Palestine.
