Amid the Israel-Hamas war, here's everything about Gigi Hadid's Palestine connection

Prominent model and TV personality Gigi Hadid, who is half-Palestinian, has condemned “the terrorizing of innocent people” after the terrorist organization Hamas launched attacks on southern Israel. What did she say? “While I have hopes and dreams for  Palestinians , none of them include the harm of a Jewish person,” Gigi Hadid said in a lengthy Instagram statement. “The terrorizing of innocent people is not in alignment with & does not do any good for the ‘Free Palestine’ movement.”

Hadid’s father opens up on the conflict Earlier this week, Gigi’s father, Mohamed Hadid , blamed the recent and “massive escalation between the occupied and the occupier” on the Israeli government in a bold Instagram post. A day later, he added, ‘To Be Clear I condemn the killing and hostage-taking or abusing, torturing of civilians. Of Arabs Muslims, Jews or Christians.” Gigi Hadid’s Palestine connection Hadid’s father Mohamed Anwar Hadid was born in a Palestinian Muslim family in 1948 in Nazareth to Anwar Mohamed Hadid and his wife Khairiah Hadid.  Her mother is former supermodel-reality star Yolanda Foster, Bella and Gigi Hadid are half-Palestinian and half-Dutch.
