So... everyone's lying and wrong, except Israel?!! If it wasn't so evil & disturbing, it would be comedic," she wrote in the IG story.The actress also shared a few other posts on her Instagram stories, related to the detainment of Palestinian children by Israel.Gigi Hadid's statement amid Israel-Hamas warEarlier in October, the 28-year-old model, who has been herself a person of Palestinian origin shared a long note expressing her solidarity with those affected by the tragedy of the war."I have deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation; it's a responsibility I hold daily. I also feel a responsibility to my Jewish friends to make it clear, as I have before: While I have hopes and dreams for Palestinians, none of them include the harm of a Jewish person," a part of her post read.For the unversed, the Hadid sisters are closely related to Palestine. Their father, Mohamed Anwar Hadid, was born into a Palestinian Muslim household.
