Many stars have signed an open letter published by Artists 4 Ceasefire calling on US President Joe Biden to “call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before more lives are lost.” From Cate Blanchett To Florence Pughfrom Jessica Chastain

To Joaquin Phoenixbefore Kristen Stewart, Michael Moore, Oscar Isaac AND Susan Sarandon: everyone demands an end to the conflict.

“More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half, a number that any conscientious person knows is catastrophic. We believe that every life is sacred, regardless of faith or ethnicity, e We condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.“,” we read in the letter, which bears about fifty signatures of actors and musicians, among whom they appear.

The appeal calls on the United States and all world leaders to “honor all lives in the Holy Land and to call for and promote an immediate ceasefire, an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of the hostages. Half of Gaza’s two million residents are children, and more than two-thirds are refugees forced from their homes. Humanitarian aid must be delivered to them.” “We believe the United States can play a critical diplomatic role.

to end suffering, and we join the voices of the US Congress, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross and many others. Saving human lives is a moral duty.”
