Zeenat Aman has spoken out about the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict. The actress took to Instagram to voice her opinion on the ongoing war that has the whole world wrapped in concern.
The actress posted a public statement saying, "As a public personality whose job depends on mass appeal, I have always been wary of commenting on politics and religion. I am acutely aware that sharing an opinion on such matters can inflame public emotion. Further, I acknowledge my own lack of expertise in these arenas.
However, I am completely capable of recognising human rights violations when I see them. The painful, near unbearable, visuals emerging from Palestine and Israel these past few days have compelled me to write this note. I cannot in good conscience remain silent at such a time I stand with the international community that is calling for an immediate ceasefire, access to relief and necessary amenities for the besieged citizens of Palestine, the release of hostages, and a bringing to account of those who oppress, and unleash, violence against civilians of any race and religion."
