With an open letter, numerous actors, musicians and media people from Federal Chancellor Merz, calls to persuade Israel to give in to the Gaza War. Now there are more prominent names.
More than 160 other actors, musicians and media people have joined the call for a stop by German arms deliveries to Israel. According to the Avaaz campaign group, the 162 signatories include the musicians Nina Chuba and Clueso, director Fatih Akin, the Israeli Golden Globe winner Ari Folman or actress Sandra Hüller. The “Tagesschau” had first reported about it.
Last Thursday, more than 200 celebrities in an open letter had already pushed Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) to stop the arms deliveries and further sanctions. “We also judge the gruesome crimes of Hamas. But no crime legitimizes that millions of innocent people brutally punish them in a brutally manner,” it said.
Joko and Klaas have also signed
As a result, 367 celebrities signed the call on Wednesday morning. The first signers included musicians Ski AGGU, actress Katharina Thalbach or the moderators Joko Winterscheidt and Klaas Heufer-Umlauf.
With a view to the current situation in the Gaza Strip, the initiators of the letter also criticized the fact that Israel’s head of government Benjamin Netanyahu announced that they would fill the entire Gaza Strip. Israeli media had reported about this. “Mr. Merz, it’s high time to act!”, It was therefore said by the initiators.
