Celeb Solidarity: Jessica Chastain Backs Palestinians, Calls for Israeli Ceasefire

Jessica Chastain, along with Adam Lambert, Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, and several other top artists, has signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden and Congress to push for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestine. The open letter, called The Artists4Ceasefire, demands that President Joe Biden and Congress work towards a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The Artists4Ceasefire open letter was sent to Biden and Congress in an attempt to get the US government to persuade both parties to de-escalate hostilities in the region after weeks of fighting.

In the open letter, Jessica Chastain conveys the dire situation in Gaza, stating that children and families are running out of basic necessities such as food, water, electricity, and medicine due to the airstrikes and cuts to supply routes. The power plant in Gaza has also run out of fuel, resulting in a shutdown of essential services like electricity, water, and wastewater treatment. The humanitarian situation has reached a critical point, and yet further attacks are being reported. Jessica Chastain calls on President Joe Biden and Congress to call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel to prevent further loss of life.

By signing the Artists4Ceasefire letter, Jessica Chastain shows her concern for the Palestinians and indirectly urges Israel to halt the continuous attacks on Gaza, which have claimed the lives of thousands of women, young children, and elderly individuals.
