Hollywood celebrities have banded together to call for peace amidst the ongoing conflict in the Israel and Palestine war. Photos and videos that went viral on social media on Monday saw Israel increase airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and seal it off from food, fuel and other supplies in retaliation for a bloody incursion by Hamas militants.
According to reports, Hamas also escalated the conflict, pledging to kill captured Israelis if attacks targeted civilians without warnings. As the war's death toll reportedly rose to nearly 1,600 on both sides, celebrities took to social media to call for peace and a 'lasting political solution' to protect the children of both Palestine and Israel.
