The model addressed Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel earlier this week on Instagram.
Donald Trump’ s recent remarks about Israel hits close to home for Bella Hadid.
“Seeing the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write,” she wrote in a lengthy post on Instagram. “Jerusalem is home of all religions. For this to happen, I feel, makes us take 5 steps back making it harder to live in a world of peace.”
The model, who is of Palestinian descent on her father Mohammed Hadid ‘s side, was referring to Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel instead of Tel Aviv. The decision has sparked a “Day of Rage” in the Jewish state.
“Watching the news and seeing the pain of the Palestinian people makes me cry for the many generations of Palestine,” she continued. “The TREATMENT of the Palestinian people is unfair, one-sided and should not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine.”
This isn’t the first time the 21-year-old beauty has been vocal about politics. In January, Bella and sister Gigi joined marchers in a protesting Trumps immigration ban.
“There is no hate against anyone… There are no sides… All religions living side by side.. Now it is Just one man..it has always been a factor of trying to bring peace… Where is the hope..?” she concluded.
