A public letter to Joe Biden from Hollywood actors demands the release of all Hamas hostages.
Many Hollywood celebrities, artists, and entertainment industry leaders have united amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, calling on US President Joe Biden to push for a ceasefire in the affected areas and to guarantee the safe release of hostages. The celebrities have also signed a heartfelt letter expressing gratitude to President Biden for his leadership during the growing crisis.
Bradley Cooper, Courtney Cox, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Bob Odenkirk, Constance Wu, Tiffany Haddish, Aubrey Plaza, Zack Snyder, Shawn Levy, Susan Sarandon, Kristen Stewart, Quinta Brunson, Ramy Youssef, Riz Ahmed, Mahershala Ali, and many more celebrities are on this legendary list. These powerful people raised their voices in favor of peace and the release of those who were detained safely.
Leading Hollywood figures united behind the slogan “No Hostage Left Behind” to spearhead the project. The purpose is quite clear: to draw attention to the desperate circumstances in Gaza and Israel and to push for the safe release of hostages and an early ceasefire.
The stars penned a heartfelt letter to President Biden that said, “We implore your administration, along with all world leaders, to respect every life in the Holy Land and demand and assist an immediate ceasefire; an end to the bombardment of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages.”. We decline to share with the next generation the tale of our passivity, of our helplessness. “History is watching,” stated UN News in an interview with UN Emergency Relief Chief Martin Griffiths. ‘.
The letter expresses relief over the recent releases of two Israelis, Yocheved Lifshitz and Nurit Cooper, from captivity and American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan. However, their husbands are still being held captive. The celebrities did, however, convey how deeply concerned they are about the 220 innocent people—including 30 children—who are still being held captive by terrorists and who face a serious risk of torture and execution.
Apart from demanding a halt to hostilities and the release of the hostages, the letter expressed appreciation to President Biden for his steadfast moral convictions and backing of the Jewish and Palestinian communities. It highlights the necessity of stopping Hamas’s violence immediately and stresses the common desire for freedom and peace shared by both communities.
The letter ends with a request for humanitarian aid to those impacted by the conflict in Gaza, where Israel’s bombardment has made conditions terrible. Indeed.
