Gulf Today Report

 Jemima Goldsmith, the former wife of Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan, highlighted Israel's recent assault in the Gaza Strip, which has killed over 400 Palestinians including over 180 children.

Meanwhile, Bollywood celebrities also condemned the brutality of Israeli forces against the Gazans.

British activist Jemima also voiced her frustration, criticising global leaders and Western media for their bias over the situation in Gaza Strip.

On her X account, she wrote, “On October 7, when 36 Israeli children and a newborn were ruthlessly murdered, it was rightfully remembered. World leaders condemned it, films were made so it never be forgotten, the Israeli flag was diplayed on public buildings across the globe. Yet, when 130 Palestinian children were killed in their sleep just a mile away on March 18, it didn't even make the front page. This was just another day in Gaza.”

Later she corrected the toll of Gaza children from 130 to 180 on her X account.

Jemima Goldsmith has consistently condemned Israel’s relentless bombings on Gaza since October 2023.

Meanwhile, Indian actress Kalki Koechlin also expressed her deep sorrow in an emotional Instagram post, criticising the ongoing brutality in Gaza.

"My heart breaks," she wrote, alongside a heartbreaking emoji. "The Israeli government chooses war over the ceasefire. Over political solutions. Over peace. The death of hundreds more Palestinians, the genocide of a people. The hostages’ families are left hanging."

Another Indian film star Swara Bhasker, known for her outspoken views, strongly condemned the airstrikes, labeling Israel a “terrorist.”

In a post on her official X account, Bhasker wrote with the hashtag #FreePalestine: “We live in a world where the slaughter of 400 children in a single day is apparently acceptable just because they are Palestinians. This an utterly despicable act of terrorism. I will SAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN... Israel is the terrorist.”

According to AFP report, Gaza's civil defence agency said that 504 people had been killed since Israel resumed intense strikes on the Palestinian territory.

"The total number of martyrs since the resumption of the aggression at dawn on Tuesday until noon today is 504 martyrs, including more than 190 children," the agency's spokesman Mahmud Bassal said in a statement.
