Gigi Hadid‚ an American fashion model of Palestinian descent‚ has apologized for sparking outrage last week for making numerous false claims against Israel amid its war with Hamas‚ claiming Israel abducts‚ rapes and tortures children.   “Israel is the only country in the world that keeps children as prisoners of war. Abduction‚ rape‚ humiliation‚ torture‚ murder of Palestinians years and years and years before Oct. 7‚ 2023‚” Hadid claimed in a since-deleted Instagram story to her 79 million followers.   The post included a picture of Ahmad Manasra‚ a Palestinian who stabbed two Israelis with his cousin in 2015 when he was 13 years old and was sentenced to 12 years in prison‚ falsely portraying Manasra as a “child prisoner of war.”    But on Tuesday‚ Hadid posted on Instagram apologizing for this mistake. “I used the wrong example to make that point‚ and I regret that‚” she wrote.  Hadid‚ 28‚ faced backlash across the internet‚ with many claiming her post was spreading false information and was antisemitic.   “Gigi Hadid isn’t shy about spreading lies to the world! … And she writes this while Hamas still holds … children that they kidnapped‚ including a baby only 10 months [old]!! The Hadid family is a family of liars that instigate hatred!” Israeli activist Yoseph Haddad wrote on X‚ formerly Twitter.  Gigi Hadid under fire for claiming Israel is ‘only country’ that keeps kids as prisoners of war https://t.co/8nXK2XOw19 pic.twitter.com/FFpG4iFO5Z— New York Post (@nypost) November 27‚ 2023 Hadid’s anti-Israel posts came amid a deal between Israel and Hamas to release 50 Israeli hostages in exchange for 150 Palestinians detained in Israeli jails and prisons. Israel said there would be one additional day of cease-fire for every 10 additional hostages Hamas released. Hamas has released about 100 hostages as of this writing.   Hadid’s father‚ Mohamed Hadid‚ was born into a Palestinian Muslim family in Nazareth‚ Israel. However‚ Gigi Hadid was born in Los Angeles. Her sister‚ Bella Hadid‚ also a fashion model‚ likewise supports the Palestinians. The state of Israel has previously responded to Hadid’s allegations against the country by writing in an infographic‚ “There is nothing valiant about Hamas’ massacre of Israelis. Condemning Hamas for what it is (ISIS) is not anti-Palestine‚ and supporting Israelis in their right against barbaric terrorists is the right thing to do.”   Hadid also reposted an Instagram Reel about Israel supposedly harvesting Palestinians’ organs on Sunday. The video was originally published by a user named Umme Murtaza‚ on which Murtaza said‚ “Watch this disturbing video‚ where health officials admitted that Israeli authorities had harvested the organs of dead Palestinians for years without their consent.” Hadid did not apologize for sharing that Reel. “Gigi Hadid is the only major supermodel that keeps spreading blood libels about Jews harvesting organs‚” Tamar Schwarzbard‚ the head of digital operations at the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs‚ wrote on X.    Have an opinion about this article?
