Bella Hadid, a supermodel, blasted Israel's far-right security minister
Bella Hadid came under fire from Israel's far-right national security minister on Friday for condemning his recent vehement public remarks regarding Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Ben-Gvir stated on Wednesday, referring to the West Bank by its biblical name of Judea and Samaria, "My right, the right of my wife and my children to move around Judea and Samaria is more important than freedom of movement for the Arabs." "The right to life comes before the right to freedom of movement."
He said on X, now known as Twitter, "I invite you to Kiryat Arba, to see how we live here, how every day, Jews who have done nothing wrong to anyone in their lives are murdered here."
"No life should ever be more valued than another's, especially in 2023. Particularly because of their race, culture, or unadulterated hatred.
She also shared a video from the respected Israeli rights organization B'Tselem, in which Israeli soldiers are heard instructing a local in the southern West Bank city of Hebron that Palestinians are not allowed to travel on a certain street because it is only for Jews. She asked in her message, "Does this remind anyone of anything?"
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which constantly monitors movement and access in the West Bank and Gaza, there are at least 645 checkpoints and roadblocks preventing Palestinian movement throughout the West Bank.
