One user X tweeted, “She’s so right, if only other celebs had this kind of critical thinking before posting,” while another commented, “Gigi’s heartfelt message promotes understanding and peace.”
A third person said, “Gigi Hadid’s statement emphasizes the importance of distinguishing political issues from harming innocent individuals. It is important to support the cause while promoting peace and understanding between different communities.
Another said it was “the best picture I’ve ever seen of a celebrity.” At the same time, another appreciated Hadid’s “sense of awareness when it comes to things that really matter in the World.”
Another also claimed that Hadid’s Palestinian origins give her “a more global view of the situation unlike other people who just want to make a story.”
What Did Gigi Hadid Say?

Regarding the Hamas-Israel conflict, Hadid’s statement was sympathetic to both sides amid the rising death toll.
However, he insisted that many innocent lives, including children, had been taken by the conflict, which he described as an “unforgivable tragedy.”
He said, “Terrorism against innocent people is not in line with & does nothing good for the ‘Free Palestine’ movement.
“The idea that it does has fueled a decades-long cycle of painful revenge (that no innocent civilian, Palestinian or Israeli, deserves) and helps perpetuate the false idea that being Pro-Palestinian = antisemitic. “
Gigi also acknowledged that there are many “complicated, personal and legitimate feelings” on both ends, but it should not lead to the denial of human rights that have prevented the safety of innocent lives.
The model added, “There are many complex, personal and legitimate feelings, but every human being is entitled to basic rights, treatment and security; regardless of nationality, religion, ethnicity or where they were born.”

While Gigi’s sister Bella has yet to comment on the ongoing conflict, rumors have swirled that she convinced her friend Kylie Jenner to take down a pro-Israel post she shared on her Instagram page on October 7.
However, Hadid’s uncle, Mohamed, came out earlier this week to speak out on the issue. In a statement on Instagram, the Palestinian-born said the Israeli government was “100%” responsible for the “massive escalation between the occupation and the colonizers.”
He added, “It’s that simple. Erasing the Palestinians from the map in the United nation is organized arrogance.. (New Middle East). It’s a shame.”
A day after his bold statement, Mohamed came out to condemn the killings that took place in the middle of the conflict. He said, “To be clear, I condemn killing and taking hostages or abuse, torture of civilians. Arabs, Muslims, Jews or Christians.”

The conflict between Hamas and Israel has been going on for decades, and there have been periods of increasing tension and violence between the two sides.
In 2021, the two were involved in an 11-day conflict that resulted in the deaths of up to a thousand people on both sides. Then, last Saturday, the Palestinian militant group launched its biggest surprise attack on the state of Israel.
The attack coincided with the Simchat Torah holiday and began with the group launching thousands of rockets. However, most of them have been intercepted by Israel’s advanced Iron Dome missile defense system.
Next, Hamas terrorists infiltrated 22 Israeli cities and military bases by land, sea, and air, taking civilians and soldiers hostage in the process.
Israel responded with massive attacks on cities inside the besieged Gaza Strip, destroying many buildings, including high-rise structures, residences, schools, hospitals, and mosques.
Since the beginning of the war, Middle Eastern countries such as Iran, Lebanon, and Qatar have also shown support for Hamas, while the US, UK, Australia, India, France, Norway, and Austria have supported Israel.
