Angelina Jolie has been committed to helping refugees for over 20 years. Now she is calling for a ceasefire in the Middle East conflict.
Angelina Jolie (48) speaks out in the Middle East conflict. The actress and former UN ambassador made a detailed statement.
First, Angelina Jolie makes it clear that she, like “millions of people around the world,” is angry and disgusted by Hamas’s attack on Israeli civilians. She clearly calls this act “terror.” She prays for the safe return of the hostages and especially for the children who were murdered or orphaned.
Angelina Jolie calls for an immediate ceasefire
But the act of terrorism cannot justify the deaths of “innocent civilians” in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli bombs, Angelina Jolie continued. People would have no access to food or water. “There is no possibility of evacuation and not even the basic human right to cross a border.”
In a sign of humanity, Angelina Jolie calls for an immediate ceasefire. “The lives of Palestinians and Israelis – and those of everyone around the world – are equally important,” she writes. She has donated for medical care and supports the organization “Doctors Without Borders.”
