Gigi Hadid faces death threats for supporting Palestinians

New York: Prominent American model Gigi Hadid has reportedly received death threats and faced harassment after expressing her support for innocent Palestinians impacted by airstrikes in Gaza.

Her vocal stance has drawn both appreciation and condemnation, leading to a troubling situation that highlights the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Gigi Hadid, known for her modeling career and influential social media presence, found herself in the crosshairs of controversy as she used her platform to extend support to Palestinians affected by the ongoing hostilities.

Her support has elicited strong reactions, with some expressing their appreciation while others, including the Israeli government, taking a confrontational stance.

The Israeli government, via its official channels, publicly criticized and issued threats to Gigi Hadid on her Instagram account.

The critique was accompanied by screenshots of her pro-Palestinian posts, accusing her of being indifferent to the suffering of Jewish children.

The Instagram post contained a message that pointedly addressed Hadid: "Have you been sleeping for the past week or have you closed your eyes to the killing of Jewish children?" The message conveyed the implication that her silence suggested a particular allegiance. The post ominously concluded with the statement, "We will see you."

Gigi Hadid's response to the ongoing conflict has been one of empathy and a call for peace.

In a statement posted on her Instagram last week, she expressed her condolences to both the Palestinian and Israeli populations affected by the war.

She emphasized that terrorizing innocent people is incongruous with the principles of the free Palestine movement, asserting that there is no benefit to this ongoing conflict.
