“A crushing anguish”

"I don't know if I'm ready to talk today.

Last night, I had this feeling of overwhelming angst about not saying the right thing and not being the person everyone wants me to be.

However, the top model came to the following conclusion: “I also realized that I have studied enough, I know my family enough, I know my own history enough.

And that should be enough to express my opinion to a friend on a subject that is close to our hearts,” she explains.

Last year, in March 2021, Bella Hadid took part in the pro-Palestinian march in New York, which led to her being lambasted by the Official Israel Twitter account.

"When celebrities like @BellaHadid plead to 'throw Jews into the sea', they're advocating for the elimination of the Jewish state.

This should not be an Israeli-Palestinian problem.

It should be a human question.

Shame on you".

On May 22, 2022, the model of Dutch-Palestinian origin as well as her sister Gigi Hadid and singer Dua Lipa had also been the target of an anti-Palestinian advertisement calling them “new brigades of Hamas influencers”.
