Bella Hadid is not afraid to use her platform and get political.
The international supermodel shared an emotional defense of Palestinians with her 16 million Instagram followers on Thursday.
Hadid denounced President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem the capital of Israel
on Wednesday. The 21-year-old’s father, Mohamed, posted a similar image
of the Dome of The Rock in Jerusalem after Trump’s speech, calling the moment the “saddest day of his life.” Mohamed is Palestinian.
“Seeing
the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are
feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write,”
Hadid wrote on Instagram. “Jerusalem is home of all religions. For this
to happen, I feel, makes us take 5 steps back making it harder to live
in a world of peace. The TREATMENT of the Palestinian people is unfair,
one-sided and should not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine.”
