Celebrities and athletes have taken to social media to voice their thoughts following the Israeli attacks on Palestine.
Over the last few nights of Ramadan, Israeli forces have raided Al-Aqsa Mosque, forcing the removal of Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in occupied East Jerusalem. During the process, hundreds of Palestinians were wounded as Israeli forces stormed the mosque.

I’m calling on all the world leaders including on the Prime Minister of the country that has been my home for the past 4 years to do everything in their power to make sure the violence and killing of innocent people stops immediately. Enough is enough. @BorisJohnson
