A-list Hollywood celebrities including Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix, Ramy Youssef and Andrew Garfield penned a letter to US President Joe Biden on Friday, urging him to call for a ceasefire and ending the Zionist military’s attack on Gaza. Dozens of top-flight names from the world of entertainment asked Biden to work to achieve an "immediate de-escalation” and ceasefire "before another life is lost.”
"We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay—an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages,” said the letter, released by artists4ceasefire.org. "Saving lives is a moral imperative.” Friday’s letter, which was also signed by Jon Stewart, singer Dua Lipa, Susan Sarandon and Channing Tatum, comes a week after hundreds of Hollywood figures signed an open letter condemning Hamas. — AFP
